Total Questions : 40 | Page 4 of 4 pages
Question 31.


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 32.


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 33.


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 have a definite shape and size because the force of attraction between the molecules is very strong compared to gases and liquids. 


Question 34.


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 35.


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 36.


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 37.


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 molecules is strong enough that it has a definite volume and doesn't compress easily.


Question 38.


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 slows down.


Question 39.


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 40.


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 with water.
