3 States of Matter - Solid, Liquid, Gas

The video tutorial explores the three common states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas. It explains their properties, such as fixed shape and volume, and how particles behave differently in each state. The tutorial also discusses the effects of temperature and pressure on these states, using water as an example. Finally, it briefly mentions other states of matter like plasma and Bose-Einstein condensate.

Which of the following is an example of a solid?

• Steam from boiling water

• A hockey puck

• Air inside a balloon

• Water in a beaker

What is a key difference between solids and liquids?

• Solids have a fixed shape, liquids do not

• Liquids have a fixed volume, solids do not

• Liquids have a fixed shape, solids do not

• Solids have a fixed volume, liquids do not

What term is used to describe substances that flow to take the shape of their container?

• Fluids

• Gases

• Solids

• Plasmas

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

• Particles in a solid move faster

• Particles in a solid are less attracted to each other

• Particles in a gas are closer together

• Particles in a gas have more kinetic energy

What happens to the particles in a solid when thermal energy is added?

• They lose kinetic energy and move closer

• They gain kinetic energy and move apart

• They stop moving

• They move closer together

At what temperature does water transition from liquid to gas at atmospheric pressure?

• 212 degrees Fahrenheit

• 100 degrees Celsius

• 32 degrees Fahrenheit

• 0 degrees Celsius

Which state of matter is characterized by having the weakest forces of attraction between particles?

• Gas

• Plasma

• Liquid
