Total Questions : 40 | Page 2 of 4 pages
Question 11. Which of these substances are in a liquid state at room temperature?
  1.    Steel
  2.    Cardboard
  3.    Water
  4.    Iron
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Water
:
C
Among the given, water is the substance which is in the liquid state at room temperature.
Question 12. _________ is the physical process through which liquid converts to gas.
  1.    Solidification
  2.    Evaporation
  3.    Melting
  4.    Freezing
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Evaporation
:
B
Evporation is the physical process through which a liquid converts to a gas on absorbing heat. For example, liquid water from oceans, lakes, rivers and other water bodies, undergoes evaporation (changes into gas)by absorbing heat from the Sun.
Question 13. The solid state of a jelly is 
  1.    Solid
  2.    Liquid
  3.    Gas
  4.    Semi-solid
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Semi-solid
:
D
A piece of jelly is kind of squishy but maintains its shape. It is considered to have a semi-solid state.
Question 14. Which of the following statement is false?
  1.    Liquids have indefinite shape.
  2.    Liquids are easily compressible.
  3.    Liquids are difficult to compress.
  4.    Liquids have definite volume.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Liquids are easily compressible.
:
B
Molecules of a liquid are loosely packed due to which it doesn't have a definite shape. But, the force of attraction between the moleculesis strong enough that it has a definite volume and doesn'tcompress easily.
Question 15. The force of attraction between the gas particles is very high.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    Liquids are difficult to compress.
  4.    Liquids have definite volume.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B
The force of attraction between the particles of gas is very weak compared to solids and liquids. The particles in gases are freely suspended which allows them to flow freely.
Question 16. Which among these is not a property of a liquid?
  1.    It has volume.
  2.    It can flow.
  3.    It has mass.
  4.    It has a definite shape.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> It has a definite shape.
:
D
Liquids have no definite shape because the molecules present in a liquid are loosely packed. So, the molecules tend to move freely.
Question 17. Solids do not have a definite shape and volume.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    Gas
  4.    Semi-solid
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B
Solids havea definiteshape and size because the force of attraction between the molecules is very strong compared to gases and liquids.
Question 18. When we mix sugar and water, it forms a sugar-water ______.
  1.    liquid
  2.    solvent
  3.    solution
  4.    molecule
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> solution
:
C
Solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances. In a sugar solution, sugar gets uniformly mixed withwater.
Question 19. Matter has ______.
  1.    mass and occupies no space
  2.    no mass and occupies space
  3.    has mass and occupies space
  4.    no mass and occupies no space
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> has mass and occupies space
:
C
Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space. It is mostly found in three forms: solid, liquid and gas.
Question 20. When you cool a liquid, the movement of molecules ___.
  1.    increases
  2.    decreases
  3.    becomes still
  4.    remains the same
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> decreases
:
B
When a liquid is cooled down, the movement of molecules slowsdown.
