STATES OF MATTER MCQs

Total Questions : 40 | Page 1 of 4 pages
Question 1. Solids always have a rigid structure.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    solution
  4.    molecule
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B
Solid can be rigid or compressible. Some solids like sponge or rubber are not rigid and can be easily deformed or stretched.
Question 2. Liquid water + _____  Water vapour.
  1.    Liquid
  2.    Heat
  3.    Ice
  4.    Dry ice
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Heat
:
B
When heat is supplied to liquid water it converts to water vapour (gaseous state).
Question 3. Which state of matter is the easiest to compress?
  1.    Plasma
  2.    Gas
  3.    Liquid
  4.    Solid
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Gas
:
B
Gas particles are loosely packed and have large spaces between them. This means they can be compressed easily.
Question 4. The freezing point of water is ______.
  1.    −100∘C
  2.    100∘C
  3.    −10∘C
  4.    0∘C
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 0∘C
:
D
The temperature at which a liquid converts to a solid is called its freezing point.
The freezing point of water is 0C.
Question 5. Matter occupies space.
  1.    True
  2.    False
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
Matter is anything which has mass and occupies space. It can be felt and sensed by our five senses.
Question 6. Gases have 
  1.    definite shape
  2.    definite size
  3.    indefinite shape
  4.    definite volume
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> indefinite shape
:
C
Gases have indefinite shape and size. Particles of gases move around freely and have very weak forces of attraction between them.
Question 7. __________ is a physical process through which a solid is converted into a liquid.
  1.    Freezing
  2.    Cooling
  3.    Melting
  4.    Condensation
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Melting
:
C
Melting is a physical process through which a solid is converted into a liquid. When a solid is heated, the distance betweenthe particles increases, forces of attraction decreases. Eventually, the solid converts to liquid.
Question 8. A solution in which no more solute can be dissolved in the given amount of solvent is called as a/an ______ solution.
  1.    unsaturated
  2.    hard
  3.    weak
  4.    saturated
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> saturated
:
D
A saturated solution is a solutionin which no more solute can be dissolvedin solvent withoutheating the solution.
Question 9. When water is kept below its freezing point it turns into 
  1.    liquid
  2.    ice
  3.    steam
  4.    water vapour
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> ice
:
B
When water is below its freezing point, water particles come closer. Their interparticle forces of attraction increases and theyform a rigid structure called ice.
Question 10. Ice + ____  Liquid water
  1.    Ice
  2.    Heat
  3.    Salt
  4.    Sugar
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Heat
:
B
When heat is supplied to ice, it converts to liquid water. The process of convertingsolid into liquid by applying heatis known as melting.
