Which of the following statements describe how particles in a solid behave?
The move around freely.
The vibrate in place.
They are packed tightly together.
They a packed but spread enough to flow around each other.
Which property of water allows water to be slightly filled above the rim without spilling over?
surface tension
viscosity
solubility
compression
Amorphous solids are solids that do not melt at specific melting points; they get softer as they are heated.
Crystalline solids are solids that have distinct melting points.
Which two are examples of amorphous solids?
butter
quartz
crystals
eraser
Why would a small tank of helium gas be able to fill so many balloons?
The helium particles expands to fill its new containers, the balloons.
The volume of gas in the balloons always equals the volume of gas in the tank.
Helium mixes with air when it comes out of the tank, making more helium.
Helium molecules are very small in size.
The particles in the image represent which state of matter and why?
Gas; because they are moving slow.
Liquid; because they are moving around fast.
Solid; because they are packed tightly.
Gas; because they are moving around fast.
The particles in the image represent which state of matter and why?
Solid; because they are tightly packed.
Liquid; because they are tightly packed.
Gas; because they vibrate in place.
Liquid; because they are spaced and flow around each other.
The particles in the image represent which state of matter and why?
Liquid; because they are very tightly packed.
Gas; because they are moving freely.
Liquid; because they are moving freely.
Liquid; because they are loosely packed.
The black numbers on this clock have clear shapes and sizes. The state of matter is a liquid, which allows the numbers to keep changing shape as time changes.
Why do timers use a liquid instead of a solid or a gas?
Liquids can flow smoothly and have a definite volume, so they move easily.
Gas particles are too close together, so they wouldn’t move steadily.
Solid particles can flow easily but are not able to move through the timer.
Which particles have a definite volume?
solid
gas
liquid
all of the above
Which of the following takes the shape of its container?
gas
solid
liquid
none of the above
A liquid's resistance to flow is called:
surface tension
vibration
solution
viscosity
Which liquid has a high viscosity?
water
sprite
honey
juice
Which of the following are physical properties of a solid?
brittle
surface tension
viscosity
flexible
