chemical reaction
condensation
diffusion
evaporation
The diagram shows a cup of tea. Which row describes the water particles in the air above the cup compared with the water particles in the cup?

C
D
The diagrams show the arrangement of particles in three different physical states of substance X. Which statement about the physical states of substance X is correct?
Particles in state 1 vibrate about fixed positions.
State 1 changes to state 2 by diffusion.
State 2 changes directly to state 3 by condensation.
The substance in stage 3 has a fixed volume.
The diagram shows how the molecules in the exhaust gases diffuse into the air. Which statement describes what happens to these molecules next?
The molecules fall to the ground because they are heavier than air molecules.
The molecules go back together as they cool.
The molecules spread further into the air.
The molecules stay where they are.
A yellow precipitate is formed in the experiment shown. How is the precipitate formed?
Particles collide, diffuse and then react.
Particles collide, react and then diffuse.
Particles diffuse, collide and then react.
Particles diffuse, react and then collide.
When there is no wind, the scent of flowers can be detected more easily on a warm evening than on a cold evening. This is because the molecules of the scent ……1…… ……2…… than in colder conditions. Which words correctly complete gaps 1 and 2?
A
B
C
D
‘Particles moving very slowly from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.’ Which process is being described?

Ice cream melts in a warm room.
Pollen from flowers is blown by the wind.
The smell of cooking spreads through a house.
An attempt was made to compress a gas and a solid using the apparatus shown. Which substance would be compressed and what is the reason for this?
Substance = gas; reason = the gas particles are close together
Substance = gas; reason = the gas particles are far apart
Substance = solid; reason = the gas particles are close together
Substance = solid; reason = the gas particles are far apart
What are the processes W, X, Y and Z in the following diagram?
W = condensing; X = boiling; Y = freezing; Z = melting
W = condensing; X = freezing; Y = melting; Z = boiling
W = melting; X = boiling; Y = freezing; Z = condensing
W = melting; X = freezing; Y = condensing; Z = boiling

ethanol
methane
salt
sugar
Oxides of nitrogen from car exhausts can spread through the atmosphere. This occurs because gas molecules move from a region of ……1…… concentration to a region of ……2…… concentration by a process called ……3…… . Which words correctly complete the gaps?
