  • Q4
    Which statement correctly compares the volume and shape of solids, liquids, and gases?
    Solids and liquids have a fixed volume and shape, but gases do not.
    Solids have a fixed volume and shape, liquids do not have a fixed volume but have a fixed shape, and gases have neither a fixed volume nor shape.
    Solids have a fixed volume and shape, liquids have a fixed volume but not shape, and gases have neither a fixed volume nor shape.

  • Q9
    How does the density of a substance change as it transitions from a solid to a liquid and then to a gas?
    It always increases.
    It always decreases.
    Density remains constant throughout the changes.
    It varies depending on the substance.

  • Q10
    How does the kinetic energy of particles in a substance affect its density?
    Higher kinetic energy leads to lower density.
    Higher kinetic energy leads to higher density.
    Kinetic energy has no impact on density.
    Lower kinetic energy leads to higher density.
