Name the three states of matter.

• gas

• liquid

• plasma

• solid, liquid, gas

What is the difference between a physical change and a chemical change?

• A physical change involves a change in texture or taste, while a chemical change involves a change in mass.

• A physical change involves a change in form or state of matter without any change in its chemical composition, while a chemical change results in the formation of new substances with different chemical properties.

• A physical change involves a change in size or shape, while a chemical change involves a change in energy.

• A physical change involves a change in color or odor, while a chemical change involves a change in temperature.

What are atoms and molecules?

• Atoms are made up of molecules, which are the smallest units of matter.

• Atoms are the basic building blocks of matter, while molecules are made up of two or more atoms chemically bonded together.

• Atoms and molecules are the same thing.

• Atoms are the smallest particles of matter, while molecules are the largest particles of matter.

What happens to the particles in a liquid when it is heated?

• The particles in a liquid become more dense when it is heated.

• The particles in a liquid stay the same when it is heated.

• The particles in a liquid evaporate when it is heated.

What is the difference between an element and a compound?

• An element is a pure substance made up of only one type of atom, while a compound is a substance made up of two or more different elements chemically combined.

• An element is a substance made up of two or more different atoms, while a compound is a pure substance made up of only one type of atom.

• An element is a substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means, while a compound is a substance that can be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means.

• An element is a substance that can be found naturally in the Earth's crust, while a compound is a substance that can only be created in a laboratory.
