Matter and States of Matter Quiz

What is a gas?

• A state of matter that has no definite shape or volume.

• A solid that can change shape easily.

• A liquid that has a fixed volume but no fixed shape.

• A form of matter that has a definite shape and volume.

What happens to the particles in a gas?

• The particles are tightly packed and vibrate in place.

• The particles are far apart and move freely, allowing gases to fill their container.

• The particles are in a fixed position and do not move.

• The particles are close together and slide past one another.

What is a liquid?

• A state of matter that has a definite volume but takes the shape of its container.

• A state of matter that has a definite shape and volume.

• A state of matter that can be compressed easily.

• A state of matter that has no definite volume or shape.

What is density?

• A measure of mass per unit volume, calculated as mass divided by volume.

• The total weight of an object regardless of its size.

• The amount of space an object occupies without regard to its mass.

• The measure of how much matter is in a given volume of space.

What is a solid?

• A state of matter that has a definite shape and volume.

• A state of matter that flows and takes the shape of its container.

• A state of matter that has no definite shape or volume.

• A state of matter that can be compressed easily.

What is the difference between mass and weight?

• Mass is the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force of gravity acting on that mass.

• Mass and weight are the same; both refer to the amount of matter in an object.

• Weight is the amount of matter in an object, while mass is the force of gravity acting on that mass.

• Mass is a measure of an object's volume, while weight is a measure of its density.

What happens to the particles in a solid?

• The particles are closely packed together and vibrate in place.

• The particles are loosely arranged and move freely.

• The particles are spread out and do not move at all.

• The particles are in a gaseous state and move rapidly.

What state of matter is Carbon Dioxide normally found in?

• Solid

• Liquid

• Gas

• Plasma

What is matter?

• Anything that has mass and takes up space.

• A substance that can be seen but not touched.

• An object that exists only in theory.

• A form of energy that cannot be measured.

What is condensation?

• The process by which a gas turns into a liquid, often seen when water droplets form on a cold surface.

• The process of a liquid turning into a gas, commonly observed during boiling.

• The change of state from solid to liquid, typically occurring during melting.

• The process of a gas expanding to fill its container, which is known as diffusion.
