1.

Based on the groupings in the table, which physical property do the substances in the third column (glass prism, cotton string, cardboard tube) have in common that distinguishes them from at least one other group?

a)

They are all insoluble in water.

b)

They are all solids at room temperature.

c)

They are all more dense than water.

d)

They are all magnetic.

2.

Compare the substances in the first column (copper, iron, aluminum) to those in the third column (glass prism, cotton string, cardboard tube). What is a key difference in their physical properties based on the table's implied groupings?

a)

The first column substances are soluble in water, while the third are not.

b)

The first column substances are good electrical conductors, while the third are good electrical insulators.

c)

The first column substances are liquids, while the third are solids.

d)

The first column substances are less dense than water, while the third are more dense.

3.

If you were to add 'steel nail' to the table, which column would it best fit into, based on comparing its physical properties (insoluble in water, solid, good electrical conductor) to the existing groups?

a)

The first column with copper, iron, and aluminum.

b)

The second column with canola oil, sand, and metal bolt.

c)

The third column with glass prism, cotton string, and cardboard tube.

d)

It would not fit any column.

4.

Contrast the physical states of the substances across the columns in the table. Which statement accurately describes a difference?

a)

All substances in the second column are liquids, while those in the first are gases.

b)

Substances in the third column are all solids, while the second column includes a liquid.

c)

The first column has only liquids, while the third has only solids.

d)

All columns contain only liquids.

5.

Based on the table, which pair of substances from different columns can be contrasted because one is a poor electrical insulator and the other is a solid but good electrical insulator?

a)

Copper and canola oil.

b)

Iron and glass prism.

c)

Aluminum and sand.

d)

Metal bolt and cotton string.

6.

The table groups substances by physical properties. If the headings were 'Poor Electrical Insulator,' 'Insoluble in Water,' and 'Solid,' which new substance would NOT fit into the first column when compared to copper, iron, and aluminum?

a)

Silver (good electrical conductor).

b)

Zinc (good electrical conductor).

c)

Plastic (poor electrical conductor).

d)

Nickel (good electrical conductor).

7.

Compare the solubility in water for the substances in the second column to those in the first column. What can you conclude from the table's groupings?

a)

Both groups are soluble in water.

b)

The second column is insoluble in water, and the first is also insoluble.

c)

The first column is soluble in water, while the second is not.

d)

Solubility is not a factor in either group.

8.

Using the table, contrast the electrical conductivity properties of the first column (copper, iron, aluminum) with the other columns. Which option best describes the difference?

a)

The first column consists of poor electrical insulators, while the third consists of good electrical insulators.

b)

The first column conducts heat, while the others conduct electricity.

c)

All columns are poor electrical insulators equally.

d)

The second and third columns are poor electrical insulators, while the first is not.

9.

If you test a new substance that is insoluble in water like sand but is a liquid unlike glass prism, how would it compare to the groups in the table?

a)

It would match the first column perfectly.

b)

It would match the second column perfectly.

c)

It would share insolubility with the second column but state of matter with none perfectly.

d)

It would match the third column perfectly.

10.

Based on the table's groupings, which statement best compares and contrasts the state of matter across all three columns?

a)

The third column is all solids, the second includes a liquid, and the first is all solids.

b)

All columns are liquids.

c)

The first column is all gases, while the second and third are solids.

d)

The second column is all solids, while the first and third include liquids.
