Elaborate on the reason(s) that matter is said to move even as in a solid state.
The particles are bound through intermolecular forces but are able to move past each other with relative freedom.
The particles have sufficient energy to become an ionized gas and are in the most common state of matter in the universe.
The particles are not able to move out of their positions relative to one another, but do have small vibrational movements.
The particles are not bound to one another, move quickly, have a low density, and are able to spread apart from one another if unconstrained.
Glass starts out as a mixture of mostly solid sand particles. However, in order to mold or blow glass, the particles must change phase to the liquid state. How can the sand's state be changed?
by removing all the heat from the sand system to strengthen bonds between solid particles and decrease freedom of motion
by increasing the density of the sand system to strengthen bonds between solid particles and increase freedom of motion
by decreasing the mass of the sand system to weaken bonds between solid particles and decrease freedom of motion
by adding a lot of heat to the sand system to weaken bonds between solid particles and increase freedom of motion
The volume of a substance undergoes the greatest change when the substance changes between what two states of matter?
liquid to gas
liquid to solid
gas to gas
solid to liquid
Stan boils liquid water on the stove to make pasta noodles. Which diagram best represents what the molecules of water look like before and after boiling?
Jessica did an investigation about the states of matter. As part of the investigation, Jessica wanted to change a liquid into a solid. What must she do to bring about this change in state?
place the liquid in a different container
stir the liquid as quickly and thoroughly as possible
remove energy from the liquid so that its particles slow down
increase the energy of the liquid so that its particles move
In an experiment, a science class filled a plastic bottle with room temperature olive oil and placed it in the freezer for two hours. When the bottle was observed at the end of two hours, the volume of the oil had decreased, which caused the bottle to contract. What happened?
The particles in the olive oil lost energy as they cooled, became less densely aligned, and took up less volume.
The particles in the olive oil lost energy as they cooled, became more densely aligned, and took up less volume.
The particles in the olive oil gained energy as they cooled, became more densely aligned, and took up less volume.
The particles in the olive oil gained energy as they cooled, became less densely aligned, and took up less volume.
The phase changes that absorb heat are:
condensation and evaporating
melting and evaporating
condensation and freezing
condensation, freezing, melting and evaporating
What determines the speed at which a particle of matter moves?
whether it is in a compound or a mixture
what its chemical properties are
how much energy it has
what its volume is
Hector is standing in a closed room with a balloon filled with helium gas. If Hector pops this balloon, what will happen to the molecules in the helium gas?
They will condense into a cloud around Hector.
They will fall to the floor as a structured solid.
They will expand and flow through the room
They will flow to the floor and form a puddle.
Which of the following statements is true about the speed of particles?
Objects with faster-moving particles feel hotter than objects with slower-moving particles.
Objects with faster-moving particles feel cooler than objects with slower-moving particles.
When particles in an object move slower, they begin to feel warm.
When particles in an object move faster, they begin to feel warm.
When Joe put a cheeseburger sealed in a plastic bag into the microwave, there was not much air in the bag. After the cheeseburger was heated, the plastic bag was full of air. Which explanation best explains why?
The air came from outside the bag
The air contracted as the heat slowed down the particles inside the bag making the bag smaller
The air that was already in the bag expanded as the particles absorbed the heat.
None of the above
