Water molecules gain energy and change from liquid to gas at any location in the liquid. Choose the correct statement.

Water molecules gain energy and change from liquid to gas at any location in the liquid.

Boiling water turns immediately into a solid.

Boiling occurs only at the surface of the water.

In what way do particles behave in solid ice compared to liquid water? Draw an example of a model to support your answer.

In solid ice, particles vibrate slowly and are closely spaced, unlike in liquid water.

Ice particles are more dispersed and move faster than those in water.

Ice particles have the same amount of motion as those in liquid water.

What happens to the particles of a gas when it is cooled down? Choose the best answer and explain.

The particles slow down and may become a liquid or solid.

The particles gain kinetic energy.

The particles move faster and spread apart more.

What is the relationship between kinetic energy and temperature in matter? Choose the best answer and explain.

Higher temperatures generally mean higher kinetic energy in particles.

There is no connection between temperature and kinetic energy.

Lower temperatures make particles move faster, increasing kinetic energy.

Why is it important to record the temperature while heating ice water? Choose the best answer and explain.

Temperature data allows us to track phase changes and energy transfer.

Recording temperature has no importance in scientific investigations.

Temperature recording makes sure the equipment is functioning.

What indicates that water is boiling in an experiment? Explain your claim with evidence and reasoning.

Water forms bubbles throughout the liquid, not just on the surface.

Water stops moving and stays completely still.

Water turns into a solid phase.

How does the particle motion differ between solids and gases? Draw and label a picture explaining your choice.

Particles in gases move freely and are widely spaced, while in solids they vibrate slowly and are closely packed.

Particles in solids move more freely than those in gases.

Particles in gases are completely still while solids move quickly.

Describe evaporation using peppermint oil as an example. Support your claim with evidence and reasoning.

Peppermint oil changes from liquid to gas due to energy from the surroundings.

Peppermint oil becomes a solid during evaporation.

Evaporation means the oil molecules chemically turn into different elements.

What is the relationship between temperature and kinetic energy according to the kinetic-molecular theory? Evaluate the statements and provide your reasoning.

Higher temperature means higher kinetic energy of the particles.

Temperature and kinetic energy are unrelated.

Higher temperature means lower kinetic energy of the particles.

How does water vapor behave compared to liquid water? Explain your answer with a drawing.

Water vapor particles move freely and are spread apart, unlike liquid water.

Water vapor particles are tightly bound like in solids.

Water vapor is a solid form of water.

How does the transfer of energy play a role in the melting of ice and its eventual evaporation?

Energy transfer causes ice to absorb heat, leading to melting and eventually evaporation.

Energy transfer causes ice to release heat, leading to melting and eventually evaporation.

Energy transfer has no effect on the melting of ice and its evaporation.

Energy transfer causes ice to freeze further, preventing melting and evaporation.
