STATES OF MATTER MCQs
:
D
A piece of jelly is kind of squishy but maintains its shape. It is considered to have a semi-solid state.
:
C
Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space. It is mostly found in three forms: solid, liquid and gas.
:
B
Solids have a definite shape and size because the force of attraction between the molecules is very strong compared to gases and liquids.
:
D
Liquids have no definite shape because the molecules present in a liquid are loosely packed. So, the molecules tend to move freely.
:
B
Gas particles are loosely packed and have large spaces between them. This means they can be compressed easily.
:
B
Solid can be rigid or compressible. Some solids like sponge or rubber are not rigid and can be easily deformed or stretched.
:
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 molecules is strong enough that it has a definite volume and doesn't compress easily.
:
B
When a liquid is cooled down, the movement of molecules slows down.
:
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.
:
C
Solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances. In a sugar solution, sugar gets uniformly mixed with water.
