Matter is anything that has:
color and shape
mass and volume
energy only
light and sound
The three main states of matter are:
atoms, elements, compounds
solid, liquid, gas
water, air, fire
plasma, vapor, smoke
A solid has:
definite shape and definite volume
no shape and no volume
definite shape only
definite volume only
A liquid has:
no volume
definite volume but no definite shape
definite shape but no definite volume
no mass
A gas has:
definite shape and definite volume
definite shape but no definite volume
neither definite shape nor definite volume
definite volume but no shape
The process of changing solid into liquid by heating is called:
freezing
evaporation
melting
condensation
The process of changing liquid into gas by heating is called:
condensation
evaporation
freezing
sublimation
Cooling water vapor into water is called:
condensation
evaporation
freezing
boiling
The change from solid directly to gas is called:
deposition
condensation
sublimation
evaporation
The reverse of sublimation (gas to solid) is called:
evaporation
condensation
deposition
freezing
The particles of a solid are:
fixed and closely packed
far apart and moving fast
randomly spaced
weakly connected
The particles of a gas are:
very close and vibrate in place
close but slide over each other
far apart and move freely
arranged in layers
Liquids can flow because their particles:
move freely around each other
are fixed in position
are very far apart
do not move at all
Liquids and gases are called fluids because they:
can flow
can freeze easily
have fixed shape
can be compressed
Fluidity means the ability to:
flow
be compressed
expand
cool down
Gases are more compressible than liquids because:
gas particles are heavier
gas particles are far apart
gas particles are tightly packed
gases have strong bonds
The ability of a gas to decrease its volume under pressure is called:
fluidity
elasticity
compressibility
contraction
Diffusion means:
movement of particles from high to low concentration
movement of particles from low to high concentration
mixing of solids only
motion of charged particles only
Diffusion is faster in gases than in liquids because:
gas particles move faster
liquids are lighter
liquids are denser
gas particles are larger
An example of diffusion in gases is:
perfume smell spreading in a room
ink mixing in water
sugar dissolving in tea
salt in soup
The plasma state is found in:
ice
stars and lightning
clouds
metals
Plasma differs from gas because:
its particles are electrically charged
it has definite shape
it doesn’t conduct electricity
it contains heavy molecules only
Examples of plasma include:
fog and mist
lightning and fluorescent lights
smoke and dust
candle wax
The particle theory of matter states that:
matter is continuous without gaps
matter is made up of tiny particles in constant motion
particles of matter never move
only solids have particles
Brownian motion provides evidence that:
particles are moving randomly
gases have no mass
solids are always still
liquids are non-compressible
When ice melts, its particles:
lose energy and move slower
gain energy and move apart
stop moving completely
change directly into gas
When a gas cools and turns into liquid, it:
gains energy
loses energy
becomes solid instantly
increases in temperature
During boiling, the temperature:
keeps increasing
stays constant
decreases gradually
becomes zero
The boiling point of water is:
0°C
25°C
100°C
212°F
The melting point of ice is:
−10°C
0°C
50°C
100°C
The rate of diffusion depends mainly on:
temperature
color
density of solid
size of the container
Heating a solid increases the:
density
kinetic energy of its particles
potential energy only
pressure inside
Cooling a gas decreases the:
motion of its particles
mass of its molecules
weight of the gas
number of particles
Gases fill their container because:
their particles move freely in all directions
they are heavy
they are colorless
they have strong forces
Sublimation can be observed in:
wood
dry ice and naphthalene
water
sugar
During melting, the heat energy absorbed is used to:
raise the temperature
break bonds between particles
increase pressure
reduce density
During condensation, heat is:
absorbed
released
destroyed
unchanged
The fourth state of matter is:
gas
plasma
vapor
fluid
Air is considered a mixture of:
gases
solids
liquids
vapors
All matter is made up of:
energy
particles
molecules of light
electric charges
Give reason .Gases can be compressed easily.
give reason. Solids keep their shape while liquids don’t.
Heating causes expansion of matter.
Diffusion occurs faster in gases than in liquids.
Cooling water vapor forms drops on cold surfaces.
Plasma can conduct electricity.
Brownian motion supports the particle theory of matter.
Temperature affects the rate of diffusion.
Liquids flow but solids don’t.
Ice floats on water.
