States of Matter Quiz

What is the state of matter in which particles are tightly packed together and have a definite shape and volume?

• Liquid

• Gas

• Plasma

• Solid

Describe the process of condensation and provide an example of a real-life situation where condensation occurs.

• When cold air containing water vapor comes into contact with a warm surface, such as a hot cup of coffee, condensation occurs and water droplets form on the surface.

• When warm air containing water vapor comes into contact with a cold surface, such as a glass of cold water, condensation occurs and water droplets form on the surface.

• Condensation is the process of water turning into vapor when it comes into contact with a warm surface, such as a boiling pot of water.

• Condensation occurs when dry air comes into contact with a dry surface, such as a desert landscape, and water droplets form on the surface.

What is plasma and how does it differ from the other states of matter?

• Plasma is a type of blood used in medical transfusions.

• Plasma is a type of TV screen technology, and it differs from other states of matter by being more expensive.

• Plasma is a type of gas used in welding, and it differs from other states of matter by being less flammable.

• Plasma is the fourth state of matter, consisting of ionized gas with positive and negative charged particles. It differs from the other states of matter (solid, liquid, gas) in that it does not have a fixed shape or volume and is electrically conductive.

What is the process called when a substance changes from a solid to a liquid?

• evaporation

• condensation

• freezing

• melting

What are the conditions required for a substance to exist in the plasma state?

• High pressure and ionization of atoms

• High temperature and ionization of atoms

• Low temperature and condensation of atoms

• Low temperature and ionization of atoms
