the particles move faster and get closer together

b)

the particles move faster and so take up more space

c)

the particles move more slowly and so take up more spcace

8.

What happens to the density of water when it freezes?

a)

increases

b)

decreases

c)

remains the same

d)

fluctuates

9.

Increasing the temperature of a gas will increase the pressure. Which of the following help to explain this observation?

a)

The particles of the gas move faster and collide more often.

b)

The particles of the gas collide with more energy because they are moving faster.

c)

The particles becomee larger and so collide more often.

d)

The surface of the contain becomes smaller so the gas particles collide with it more often.

The particles are free to move.

b)

The particles vibrate.

c)

There's space between the particles.

d)

a)

Yes

b)

No

15.
