- Q1In which state of matter do particles vibrate in fixed positions but do not move freely?LiquidSolidGasPlasma30s
- Q2Which of the following describes the motion of particles in a gas?Particles are close together but slide past each other.Particles are tightly packed and vibrate in place.Particles move freely and spread out to fill their container.Particles are fixed in place and do not move.30s
- Q3What happens to the movement of particles in a substance when it is heated?The particles gain energy and move faster.The particles remain stationary.The particles lose energy and move slower.The particles become closer together.30s
- Q4Which of the following statements is true about liquids?Liquids take the shape of their container but have a definite volume.Liquids have neither a definite shape nor a definite volume.Liquids have a fixed shape and volume.Liquids do not flow and are rigid.30s
- Q5What best describes the arrangement of particles in a solid?Particles are closely packed together in a fixed arrangement.Particles are loosely arranged and can slide past each other.Particles are in a random arrangement with no fixed positions.Particles are far apart and move freely.30s
- Q6Which state of matter is characterized by particles that are far apart and move rapidly in all directions?LiquidSolidCrystallineGas30s
- Q7When a solid is heated and turns into a liquid, what is this process called?MeltingCondensationFreezingEvaporation30s
- Q8What happens to the volume of a gas when it is compressed?The gas begins to condense into a liquid.The volume increases as the particles spread apart.The volume remains the same regardless of pressure.The volume decreases as the particles are forced closer together.30s
- Q9In which state of matter do particles have enough energy to slide past one another but remain in contact?GasLiquidSolidPlasma30s
- Q10What term describes the process in which a liquid changes into a gas?EvaporationFreezingSublimationCondensation30s
