  • 2. 

    When you increase the temperature, particles will

    • The speed of the particles stay the same

    • The speed of the particles increase

    • The speed of the particles decrease

    Correct Answer
    A. The speed of the particles increase
    Explanation
    When the temperature is increased, the kinetic energy of the particles also increases. This increase in kinetic energy leads to an increase in the speed of the particles. This is because the particles gain more energy and move faster, resulting in an overall increase in their speed.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    All the particles in a pure substance are...

    • Identical

    • Different

    • Mostly the same

    Correct Answer
    A. Identical
    Explanation
    In a pure substance, all the particles are identical. This means that they have the same chemical composition and properties. Whether it is a solid, liquid, or gas, the particles in a pure substance are made up of the same type of atoms or molecules. This uniformity allows for consistent behavior and characteristics of the substance.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Pure substances are substances that...

    • Are made of only one type of particle

    • Are made of 2 types of particle

    • Are naturally occuring

    • Are man-made

    Correct Answer
    A. Are made of only one type of particle
    Explanation
    Pure substances are substances that are made up of only one type of particle. This means that all the particles in a pure substance have the same chemical composition and properties. Examples of pure substances include elements, such as oxygen and gold, and compounds, such as water and salt. These substances are not mixed with any other substances and do not have any impurities. Therefore, the correct answer is "Are made of only one type of particle."

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Particles are...

    • Moving only in liquids and gases

    • Moving only in gases

    • Moving in solids, and liquids

    • Moving in solids, gases and liquids

    Correct Answer
    A. Moving in solids, gases and liquids
    Explanation
    Particles in ALL states of matter are constantly moving

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Rank in order from smallest to largest, the spaces between the particles in the states of matter

    • Gases, liquids, solids

    • Liquids, solids, gases

    • Solids, liquids, gases

    • Solids, gases, liquids

    Correct Answer
    A. Solids, liquids, gases
    Explanation
    The answer is solids, liquids, gases. In solids, the particles are tightly packed together, resulting in the smallest spaces between them. In liquids, the particles have more freedom of movement but are still close together, so the spaces between them are larger than in solids but smaller than in gases. In gases, the particles are far apart and have the most freedom of movement, leading to the largest spaces between them.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    There are spaces between...

    • Particles in gases

    • Particles in gases, liquids and solids

    • Particles in gases, and liquids

    Correct Answer
    A. Particles in gases, liquids and solids
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "particles in gases, liquids and solids". This answer is correct because particles exist in all three states of matter: gases, liquids, and solids. In gases, particles are spread out and move freely. In liquids, particles are closer together and have more interaction. In solids, particles are tightly packed and vibrate in place. Therefore, particles can be found in all three states of matter.
