Phases of Matter

What is the state of matter where particles are closely packed together and vibrate in place?

• Liquid

• Gas

• Solid

• Plasma

What are the three main states of matter?

• Solid, Liquid, Gas

• Solid, Liquid, Plasma

• Solid, Gas, Vapor

• Liquid, Gas, Mist

How do the particles in a solid behave?

• They vibrate in place and are tightly packed.

• They move freely and are loosely arranged.

• They flow like liquids and take the shape of their container.

• They are in constant motion and spread out evenly.

What is the process called when a liquid turns into a gas?

• Condensation

• Evaporation

• Precipitation

• Sublimation

What is the main difference between liquids and gases?

• Liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of their container, while gases have neither a definite shape nor volume.

• Liquids can flow freely, while gases cannot.

• Liquids are compressible, while gases are not.

• Liquids have a definite shape, while gases have a definite volume.

What happens to the particles in a liquid when heated?

• They gain energy and move faster.

• They lose energy and move slower.

• They remain stationary and do not change.

• They condense and become solid.

What is the term for the change of state from gas to solid?

• Sublimation

• Condensation

• Deposition

• Evaporation

What is the process called when a solid turns into a liquid?

• Freezing

• Condensation

• Melting

• Evaporation

In which state of matter do particles have more space between them and can slide past one another?

• Solid

• Liquid

• Gas

• Plasma

What happens to the kinetic energy of particles as temperature increases?

• The kinetic energy decreases.

• The kinetic energy remains constant.

• The kinetic energy increases.

• The kinetic energy fluctuates.
