Question 11. If we hit crystal with a hammer, it will melt.
  1.    True
  2.    False
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B
Crystal is a solid and when a strong force is applied on it, it breaks into smaller pieces. This property of solids is known as brittleness.
Question 12. Water changes colour when you add salt in it.
  1.    True
  2.    False
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B
Water does not change colour as salt crystals are clear. We can see the salt particles in water at first, but when you stir they dissolve and the size becomes so small that it cannot be seen through the naked eyes.
Question 13. Among the following, in which state water molecules have the largest space between them?
  1.    Water vapour
  2.    Ice
  3.    Liquid water
  4.    Ice below freezing point
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Water vapour
:
A
Water molecules in a liquid state only move around a little bit and not as much as the molecules in gas. In gaseous state the spaces between the molecules is maximum.
Question 14. Which among these is an element?
  1.    Ice
  2.    Petrol
  3.    Nitrogen
  4.    Sugar
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Nitrogen
:
C
Element is a substance which has same type of atoms. From given options Nitrogen is the only element.
Question 15. ___ is an example of an element.
  1.    Water
  2.    Sugar solution
  3.    Nitrogen
  4.    Soil
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Nitrogen
:
C
An element is a substance which cannot be broken down into smaller units by any chemical reaction. Nitrogen is an example of element.
Question 16. Which of the following qualifies as a gas?
  1.    Ice
  2.    Sponge
  3.    Vapour
  4.    Vinegar
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Vapour
:
C
When liquid water is heated, thedistance between the particles increases. This turns liquid waterinto a gaseous state called vapour.
Question 17. Gas molecules coming out of dry ice move faster than the molecules in the dry ice.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    Gas > Liquid
  4.    Liquid > Gas
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
The molecules in gas have fastermovement as compared to solids. Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide. Itreleases carbon dioxidegas and hence the molecules coming out movefaster.
Question 18.


Pick the suitable state of matter for these objects at room temperature.
1- Water: ___
2- Sand grain: ___
3- Sponge: ___


  1.     1- Liquid
    2- Solid
    3- Solid
  2.     1- Liquid
    2- Liquid
    3- Solid
  3.     1- Liquid
    2- Liquid
    3- Gas
  4.     1- Solid
    2- Gas
    3- Liquid
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 1- Liquid
2- Solid
3- Solid

:
A

Water has the fluidic property and it takes the shape of the container it is kept in, a property shown by liquids.


Each sand grain is a solid particle which is a piece from broken rocks. Each sand grain has a fixed shape and volume. It is a solid.


When we squeeze a sponge, it changes shape but returns to its normal shape when we let go of the force. It has a definite shape.


Question 19.


The molecules in solids are:


  1.     closer to each other than in gases
  2.     freely moving than in gases
  3.     closer to each other than in liquids
  4.     freely moving than in liquids
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> closer to each other than in gases
:
A and C

Among solids, liquids and gases; the molecules in solid are more tightly packed than liquids and gases. Hence, solids have least mobility.


Question 20.


Select the change of state: Pouring normal water on dry ice.


  1.     Dry ice changes from solid liquid
  2.     Dry ice changes from liquid solid
  3.     Dry ice changes from solid gas
  4.     Dry ice changes from plasma liquid
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Dry ice changes from solid gas
:
C

Dry ice is a solid block of carbon dioxide. When we pour water on dry ice, the temperature goes up and solid ice directly turns into carbon dioxide in the form of gas. The process in which a solid substance directly turns into gas without turning into a liquid is called sublimation.
