Solids Liquids Gases

Why are gases easier to compress than liquids

• They are less dense

• Their particles are held together less tightly

• Their particles are further apart

• Their particles move randomly

What do carrots, lemonade and air have in common?

• They all have mass and occupy space

• The particles move randomly

• They are composed of identical particles

• They are coloured

What is a consequence of the particles in liquids being able to roll over one another?

• They cannot be compressed

• They can be poured

• They diffuse quickly

• They expand when heated

Which choice correctly identifies each kinetic theory diagram?

• Solid, liquid, gas

• Gas, solid, liquid

• Liquid, gas, solid

• gas, liquid, solid

• Cooling the matter

• Shaking the matter

What happens to the particles of matter when it expands?

• They get larger and occupy mor space

• They get hotter and increase in volume

• They break the forces holding them together and spread out into a larger volume

• They move faster, collide more violently, and need more room to move in
