Why does air that is blown into a balloon take up all the space inside the balloon?

a)

The particles of air have a strong attraction between each other and the balloon

b)

The particles of air move freely, colliding with each other and the sides of the balloon

c)

The particles of air move and increase in size when they have more space in the balloon

d)

The particles of air move around and slide past one another and take the shape of the balloon

2.

Which model can be used to represent the movement of particles in a liquid?

a)

Model 1 because the particles are vibrating but keep a definite shape

b)

Model 2 because the particles are moving freely

c)

Model 2 because the particles slide freely past each other and take the shape of the container

d)

Model 3 because the particles are close together but have no definite shape.

3.

Which model can be used to represent the movement of particles in a solid?

a)

Model 1 because the particles are vibrating but keep a definite shape

b)

Model 2 because the particles are moving freely

c)

Model 2 because the particles slide freely past each other and take the shape of the container

d)

Model 3 because the particles are close together but have no definite shape.

4.

Which model can be used to represent the movement of particles in a gas?

a)

Model 1 because the particles are vibrating but keep a definite shape

b)

Model 3 because the particles are moving freely and fill the container

c)

Model 2 because the particles slide freely past each other and take the shape of the container

d)

Model 3 because the particles are close together but have no definite shape.

5.

At room temperature, the metal copper is a solid and but the metal mercury is a liquid. How do the particles of the solid copper compare to the particles of the mercury?

a)

The particles in the liquid and the solid are the same. They both vibrate and move slowly.

b)

The particles in the solid vibrate and are tightly packed, and the particles in the liquid slide past each other.

c)

The particles in the liquid vibrate and are tightly packed and particles in the solid slide past each other.

d)

The particles in the solid are close together with no regular arrangement, and the particles in the liquid are well separated with a regular arrangement.

6.

How are the particles of all solids similar?

a)

The particles vibrate and stay fixed tightly together.

b)

The particles do not vibrate, but they stay fixed tightly together.

c)

The particles vibrate and frequently collide, as they move past each other.

d)

The particles vibrate and frequently collide, but move freely in all directions.

7.

Which statement below best describes the movement of particles in a gas?

a)

The particles vibrate in a fixed position.

b)

The particles slide easily past one another.

c)

The particles move freely and are well separated.

d)

The particles move freely with little free space between the particles.

8.
