• boiling

• evaporation

• condensation

The diagram shows some of the changes of state. Which statement is correct?

• Although the change is not shown on the diagram, a gas can change directly to a solid.

• The changes 1 and 3 involve particles moving closer together

• The changes 2 and 4 involve particles moving further apart.

• The changes 3, 4 and 5 all involve the release of energy.

Which statement about the behaviour of the particles in a gas is not correct?

• They spread throughout the vessel in which they contained

• They are able to move at high speeds.

• They are arranged in regular patterns

• There are large spaces between the particles

Which of the following is an example of diffusion?

• Bubbles rising in a beaker of boiling water

• Steam condensing on a cold window

• Water spreading out on the surface of a table

• The spreading of the smell of flowers in a garden

An inflated balloons will shrink if placed in a refrigerator. This is because the lower temperature causes the gas particles in the balloons to move

• Faster and become closer together

• Faster and become further apart

• Slower and become closer together

• Slower and become further apart
