How does an increase in temperature affect the state of matter?

• It has no effect.

• It causes a change from liquid to gas.

• It causes a change from gas to solid.

• It can change a substance from a solid to a liquid or a gas.

How do particles in a gas differ from those in a liquid?

• Gas particles are tightly packed, while liquid particles are far apart.

• Gas particles have a fixed position, while liquid particles move freely.

• Gas particles have a random arrangement and move freely, while liquid particles are close together but can move past each other.

• Gas particles are heavier than liquid particles.

Which process involves the change of a liquid to a gas?

• Freezing

• Evaporation

How do solids, liquids, and gases differ in taking up space and having mass?

• Solids have definite shape and volume, liquids have definite shape but no fixed volume, gases have neither definite shape nor volume.

• Solids have no mass, liquids have definite shape and volume, gases have both mass and volume.

• Solids, liquids, and gases all have the same mass and volume.

• Solids have no volume, liquids have definite shape but no mass, gases have mass but no volume.

What is it called when a substance changes directly from a solid to a gas?

• Evaporation

• Condensation

• Sublimation

• Freezing

What is the particle arrangement in a solid and how does it affect the state of matter?

• Particles in a solid are tightly packed, leading to a definite shape and volume.

• Particles in a solid are far apart, resulting in a shapeless and formless state.

• Particles in a solid are constantly moving and have no fixed arrangement.

• Particles in a solid are arranged randomly, causing them to flow.
