- Q1Which state of matter has a definite shape and volume with tightly packed atoms?SolidGasPlasmaLiquid30s
- Q2In which state of matter do particles move freely and have the highest kinetic energy?LiquidSolidGasPlasma30s
- Q3What characteristic distinguishes liquids from solids?Liquids take the shape of their container, while solids maintain a fixed shape.Liquids have higher density than solids.Liquids have a fixed volume, while solids do not.Solids can flow like liquids.30s
- Q4Which state of matter has a definite volume but no definite shape, conforming to the shape of its container?SolidLiquidPlasmaGas30s
- Q5Which state of matter typically has particles that are the most spread out and move the most rapidly?IceLiquidGasSolid30s
- Q6How do the atomic structures of solids differ from those of liquids?Liquids have a definite shape.Solids have more kinetic energy than liquids.Atoms in solids are randomly arranged.In solids, atoms are tightly packed and vibrate in fixed positions, while in liquids, atoms are close together but can slide past each other.30s
- Q7Which state of matter has the least amount of kinetic energy?GasLiquidSolidPlasma30s
- Q8Which state of matter expands to fill its entire container?GasSolidCrystalLiquid30s
- Q9What happens to the kinetic energy of particles when a solid is heated and becomes a liquid?The kinetic energy increases, causing the particles to move more freely.The kinetic energy decreases, causing the particles to freeze.Particles in a solid become less organized without a temperature change.The kinetic energy remains the same.30s
- Q10What distinguishes the arrangement of particles in a gas from those in a liquid?Gas particles are far apart and move freely, while liquid particles are closer together and can slide past each other.Liquid particles are more spread out than gas particles.Gas particles are tightly packed and vibrate in place.Gas has a definite shape and volume.30s
