MATTER IN OUR SURROUNDINGS MCQs

Total Questions : 54 | Page 3 of 6 pages
Question 21. More is the space between the particles of the matter; more is the force of attraction between them.
  1.    True
  2.    False
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B
In the solid state of matter, the particles are much closer to each other and the force of attraction is more between the molecules. Whereas, in a gaseous state of matter, the particles have large space between them and the force of attraction is much lesser when compared to solids and liquids.
Question 22. The amount of water vapour present in the air is known as _______.
  1.    Density
  2.    Humidity
  3.    Precipitation
  4.    Vapourisation
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Humidity
:
B
The air around us holdswater in the form ofvapour(gas). Humidity is the amount of water vapour present in the air. During winter, due to low temperature, the humidity in the air falls down. This is the reason why our skin becomes dry in winters.
Question 23. Which of the following states of matter has the highest kinetic energy of the particles?
  1.    Solids
  2.    Liquids
  3.    Gases
  4.    All the states have same kinetic energy
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Gases
:
C
Higher the distance between the particles, lower is the inter particle force of attraction. Hence, particles would be free to move with higher kinetic energy.
Therefore, the order of kinetic energy: Solids < Liquids < Gases
Question 24. The container shown below has 9 particles inside it. Each particle has a mass of 3 units. The volume of the container is 27 units.
Calculate the density of the container (assume the box has no air in it).
The Container Shown Below Has 9 Particles Inside It. Each Pa...
  1.    1 unit
  2.    3 units
  3.    9 units
  4.    27 units
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 1 unit
:
A
The formula to find density is as follows:
Density=massvolume
The mass of the entire matter inside the given container = 3×9=27units.
The volume of the given container is 27 units.
Now, density of the container = massvolume = 2727 = 1 unit.
Question 25.


Identify the correct statement(s) that are mandatory to define matter.


  1.     Matter occupies space.
  2.     Matter has mass.
  3.     Particles of  matter can be seen through naked human eye.
  4.     Matter always has odour.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Matter occupies space.
:
A and B
In this universe, everything that is made up of material is named 'matter'.
All such things that occupy space (volume) and have mass are considered as matter.
The tiny particles that constitute matter cannot be seen with our naked eye.
Matter can be odourless; water and air are two such examples.
Question 26.


Select the correct option that refers to the nature of matter.


  1.     Matter is continuous
  2.     Matter is particulate
  3.     Matter is neither particulate nor continuous
  4.     Matter is both particulate and continuous
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Matter is particulate
:
B
Matter is considered particulate but not continuous through the experiments like diffusion. For example, a substance like common salt or sugar is able to dissolve in water without any rise in the volume of water.  This proves that matter is made up of particles that have space between them to accommodate different types of particles.
Question 27.


Which among the following has the strongest intermolecular force of attraction between its particles at the room temperature?


  1.     Nitrogen
  2.     Mercury
  3.     Iron
  4.     Chalk
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Iron
:
C
As we know, more the distance between the particles, lesser is the force of attraction between them. Nitrogen is a gas at room temperature. So, its particles have more space and less attraction between them than a solid.
Mercury is liquid at room temperature. So, its particles have comparatively more space and less attraction between them, than a solid.
Chalk piece can be easily broken because its particles have weaker force of attraction than that of iron.
Hence, the correct order of force of attraction is as follows:
Nitrogen < Mercury < Chalk < Iron
Question 28.


Identify the characteristics of particles of matter from the given options:


  1.     Particles of matter have space between them.
  2.     Particles of matter are in continuous motion.
  3.     Particles of matter have comparable size as that of the matter.
  4.     Particles of matter attract each other.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Particles of matter have comparable size as that of the matter.
:
A, B, and D
The matter is made of discrete particles.
1. The particles can accommodate different particles as they have space between them. Example: Sugar dissolving in water without any change in volume of the mixture.
2. The particles are in continuous motion. They do not have fixed position. This is the reason why the gas molecules hit the walls of a container and exert pressure. The particles in a solid are in motion too.
3. The particles are very small as compared to the matter.
4. The particles attract each other. This is the reason why liquid water has to be heated to break the bonds between water molecules and to convert them into vapour.
Question 29.


The picture below shows the changes in two states of matter. Identify the process X.
The Picture Below Shows The Changes In Two States Of Matter....


  1.     Sublimation
  2.     Freezing
  3.     Evaporation
  4.     Condensation
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Condensation
:
D
The particles in a gas have large intermolecular spaces compared to that of a liquid. Hence, gases can be converted to their liquid state by the process of condensation while releasing energy. It is the reverse of evaporation / vaporization.
Question 30.


Increase in temperature of a particle, increases its kinetic energy.


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     sublimation
  4.     vaporization
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
The energy attained by the particles due to the motion is their kinetic energy. As the temperature increases, the motion of the particles increases and results in higher kinetic energy.
