Changing state of matter

This matter has a definite shape and definite volume

• Liquid

• Gas

• Plasma

• Solid

Answer explanation

A solid has a definite shape and definite volume, unlike liquids, gases, and plasma, which do not maintain a fixed shape or volume. Therefore, the correct answer is solid.

This state of matter has a definite volume but no definite shape.

• Solid

• Liquid

• Gas

• Plasma

Answer explanation

A liquid has a definite volume, meaning it occupies a specific amount of space, but it does not have a definite shape, as it takes the shape of its container. This distinguishes it from solids, which have both definite shape and volume.

This state of matter has neither a definite shape nor a definite volume.

• Plasma

• Liquid

• Gas

• Solid

Answer explanation

A gas has neither a definite shape nor a definite volume, allowing it to expand and fill its container. In contrast, solids have a definite shape and volume, and liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of their container.

This state of matter is characterized by particles that are tightly packed and vibrate in place.

• Plasma

• Gas

• Liquid

• Solid

Answer explanation

A solid state of matter has particles that are tightly packed together and can only vibrate in place, unlike liquids and gases where particles can move more freely. Therefore, the correct answer is solid.

This state of matter can flow and take the shape of its container.

• Liquid

• Gas

• Solid

• Plasma

Answer explanation

The correct answer is 'Liquid' because liquids can flow and adapt to the shape of their container, unlike solids which maintain a fixed shape, gases which fill the entire volume, and plasma which is ionized gas.

This state of matter consists of charged particles and is found in stars.

• Solid

• Liquid

• Plasma

• Gas

Answer explanation

Plasma is a state of matter made up of charged particles, such as ions and electrons. It is commonly found in stars, where high temperatures strip electrons from atoms, creating this ionized gas.

This state of matter is characterized by particles that are far apart and move freely.

• Plasma

• Solid

• Liquid

• Gas

Answer explanation

Gas is the state of matter where particles are far apart and move freely, unlike solids and liquids where particles are closer together and have restricted movement.

This state of matter is often found in the form of ice and has a fixed shape.

• Gas

• Liquid

• Solid

• Plasma

Answer explanation

The state of matter described is a solid, as it has a fixed shape and is often found in the form of ice. Solids maintain their shape, unlike liquids and gases, which take the shape of their container.

This state of matter is characterized by particles that are loosely packed and can slide past one another.

• Liquid

• Gas

• Plasma

• Solid

Answer explanation

The state of matter described is a liquid, where particles are loosely packed and can move past each other, allowing liquids to flow. In contrast, gases have widely spaced particles, and solids have tightly packed particles.

This state of matter can exist at extremely high temperatures and is made up of ionized particles.

• Plasma

• Solid

• Liquid

• Gas

Answer explanation

Plasma is a state of matter that exists at extremely high temperatures and consists of ionized particles, distinguishing it from solids, liquids, and gases.
