1. Does a solid have a shape of its own?

Explanation

A solid does have a shape of its own because it has a fixed volume and maintains its shape even when subjected to external forces. Unlike liquids and gases, solids have a definite shape due to the strong intermolecular forces that hold their particles closely together. This allows them to maintain their structure and resist deformation. Therefore, the statement "True" is correct in stating that a solid has a shape of its own.

Submit
3. Water in the form of gas is called

Explanation

Water in the form of gas is called water vapor. When water is heated, it undergoes a phase change from liquid to gas, forming water vapor. Water vapor is invisible and is found in the atmosphere, contributing to the formation of clouds and precipitation. It can also be produced through processes such as evaporation and boiling. Water vapor is an important component of the Earth's water cycle and plays a crucial role in weather patterns and climate.

Submit
4. Earth's main source of heat is:

Explanation

The Sun is Earth's main source of heat because it emits a vast amount of energy, including heat and light, through nuclear fusion reactions in its core. This energy is transmitted to Earth in the form of sunlight. The Sun's heat is essential for maintaining Earth's temperature, driving weather patterns, and supporting life on our planet. The Moon and stars do not emit enough heat to significantly impact Earth's temperature, while the Earth's core generates heat but is not the primary source of heat for the planet.

Submit
5. Particles in solids are held

Explanation

The correct answer is "Closely Together" because particles in solids are held tightly or closely together due to strong intermolecular forces. This close arrangement of particles is what gives solids their fixed shape and volume. Unlike particles in liquids or gases, particles in solids have limited freedom of movement and vibrate in fixed positions. This close proximity of particles also allows solids to have a high density and makes them less compressible compared to liquids and gases.

Submit
6. Does a gas have a shape of its own?

Explanation

Gas does not have a shape of its own. Unlike solids and liquids, gases do not have a definite shape and can expand to fill the entire space available to them. The particles in a gas move freely and are not held together in a fixed arrangement, allowing them to spread out and take the shape of their container. Therefore, the statement that a gas has a shape of its own is false.

Submit
7. I am the process that locks particles into position to form a solid. What am I?

Explanation

Freezing is the process that locks particles into position to form a solid. During freezing, the particles of a substance lose energy and slow down, causing them to arrange themselves in a fixed pattern, resulting in the formation of a solid. This process occurs when a substance's temperature decreases below its freezing point.

Submit
8. Expansion describes the phenomenon of objects getting bigger

Explanation

Expansion refers to the process or phenomenon of objects increasing in size or becoming larger. This can occur due to various factors such as heat, pressure, or the addition of more material. When objects expand, their dimensions, volume, or overall size increase. Therefore, the statement "Expansion describes the phenomenon of objects getting bigger" is true as it accurately describes the concept of expansion.

Submit
9. A way heat is produced

Explanation

Burning is a process that produces heat. When a substance undergoes combustion, it reacts with oxygen in the air and releases energy in the form of heat and light. This is a common way of producing heat, such as in fireplaces, stoves, or engines. During the burning process, the bonds between atoms in the fuel are broken, and new bonds are formed with oxygen atoms, resulting in the release of energy in the form of heat. Therefore, burning is a valid explanation for how heat is produced.

Submit
10. A way heat is produced

Explanation

Rubbing is a way heat is produced because when two objects are rubbed against each other, friction is created. Friction generates heat energy due to the resistance between the two surfaces. The kinetic energy of the rubbing motion is converted into thermal energy, resulting in the production of heat. Therefore, rubbing is a process that can generate heat.

Submit
11. When something melts, it changes from:

Explanation

When something melts, it undergoes a phase change from a solid state to a liquid state. This occurs when the substance is heated to its melting point, causing the particles within the solid to gain enough energy to break their fixed positions and move more freely. As a result, the solid structure breaks down, and the substance transforms into a liquid while maintaining its chemical composition.

Submit
12. A thermometer is:

Explanation

A thermometer is a tool used to measure temperature. It consists of a narrow glass tube with a bulb at one end that contains a liquid, typically mercury or alcohol. As the temperature changes, the liquid expands or contracts, causing it to rise or fall within the tube. The scale marked on the thermometer allows for accurate measurement of the temperature. Thermometers are commonly used in various fields such as weather forecasting, medical applications, and scientific research to monitor and record temperature changes.

Submit
13. I am the gaseous state of water.  What am I?

Explanation

Water vapor is the correct answer because it is the gaseous state of water. When water is heated, it turns into water vapor, which is an invisible gas. This is different from ice cube, which is the solid state of water, and warm water, which is the liquid state of water.

Submit
14. The process in which water moves into the air

Explanation

Evaporation is the process in which water moves into the air. It occurs when water changes from a liquid state to a gaseous state due to the absorption of heat energy. During evaporation, water molecules gain enough energy to break free from the liquid surface and become water vapor in the air. This process is essential for the water cycle as it allows water to be transferred from the Earth's surface back into the atmosphere, where it can later condense and form precipitation.

Submit
15. Particles in a cold object have little thermal energy and move slowly

Explanation

Particles in a cold object have little thermal energy and move slowly. This is because temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles in a substance. In a cold object, the particles have low kinetic energy, resulting in slower movement.

Submit
16. Particles in a hot object have a lot of thermal energy and move quickly

Explanation

Particles in a hot object have a lot of thermal energy because the heat causes the particles to gain kinetic energy, making them move faster and more vigorously. This increased movement of particles is what we perceive as high temperature. Therefore, it is true that particles in a hot object have a lot of thermal energy and move quickly.

Submit
17. Changing from a solid to liquid is:

Explanation

Melting refers to the process in which a solid substance changes into a liquid state due to an increase in temperature. This occurs when the substance's particles gain enough energy to overcome the forces holding them in a fixed arrangement. As a result, the solid's structure breaks down, and it transforms into a liquid without changing its chemical composition. This explanation aligns with the given correct answer, "Melting."

Submit
18. Does a solid have a volume of its own?

Explanation

A solid does have a volume of its own. Volume is a physical property that measures the amount of space occupied by an object. Solids, like any other matter, occupy space and therefore have a definite volume.

Submit
19. Changing from a liquid to gas is:

Explanation

Evaporation is the process in which a liquid changes into a gas at a temperature below its boiling point. It occurs when the particles in the liquid gain enough energy to escape from the surface and become vapor. This process does not require the liquid to reach its boiling point, unlike boiling which occurs at the boiling point. Therefore, evaporation is the correct answer as it accurately describes the transformation of a liquid into a gas.

Submit
20. Changing from a liquid to solid is:

Explanation

Freezing is the process in which a substance changes from a liquid state to a solid state due to the removal of heat energy. During freezing, the particles in the substance slow down and come closer together, forming a rigid structure. This is different from evaporation, which is the change from a liquid to a gas, and condensation, which is the change from a gas to a liquid. Melting, on the other hand, is the process of changing from a solid to a liquid state. Therefore, freezing is the correct answer as it specifically refers to the change from a liquid to a solid.

Submit
21. What material is a better conductor?

Explanation

Metal is a better conductor compared to plastic and wood. This is because metals have a higher density of free electrons, which are responsible for carrying electric charge. These free electrons can move more easily through the metal's atomic lattice, allowing for efficient flow of electricity. In contrast, plastic and wood have fewer free electrons and a more restricted movement, leading to poorer conductivity.

Submit
22. I am the process in which liquid slowly changes into a a gas. What am I?

Explanation

Evaporation is the process in which a liquid slowly changes into a gas. It occurs when the molecules of a liquid gain enough energy to break free from the surface and escape into the air. This process is different from freezing, melting, and condensation, which involve the transformation of a substance from one state to another, but not specifically from liquid to gas.

Submit
23. Define temperature:

Explanation

The correct answer is "The measure of how hot or cold something is." Temperature is a quantitative measurement of the degree of hotness or coldness of an object or substance. It is a fundamental property of matter and is typically measured using a thermometer.

Submit
24. A metric unit of measurement:

Explanation

Meter is a metric unit of measurement commonly used to measure length or distance. It is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). The meter is defined as the distance traveled by light in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second. It is widely used in scientific, engineering, and everyday applications around the world. Inch and yard, on the other hand, are imperial units of measurement commonly used in the United States and a few other countries.

Submit
25. When something boils in changes from

Explanation

When something boils, it changes from a liquid to a gas. This process occurs when the substance is heated to its boiling point, causing the particles to gain enough energy to break free from their liquid state and form a gas. This change is accompanied by the release of energy in the form of heat.

Submit
26. Heat causes particles in a liquid to

Explanation

When heat is applied to a liquid, it increases the kinetic energy of its particles. This increase in energy causes the particles to move faster and spread out. As the particles gain more energy, they overcome the attractive forces between them and move further apart, resulting in the liquid expanding and spreading out. Therefore, the correct answer is that heat causes particles in a liquid to move faster and spread out.

Submit
27. Contraction describes the phenomenon of objects getting smaller

Explanation

Contraction refers to the process by which objects become smaller. This can occur due to various factors such as cooling, compression, or contraction of muscles. Therefore, the statement "Contraction describes the phenomenon of objects getting smaller" is true.

Submit
28. Expansion describes the phenomenon of objects getting smaller

Explanation

Expansion actually describes the phenomenon of objects getting larger or increasing in size. When objects expand, they generally take up more space or have increased dimensions. Therefore, the given statement is incorrect.

Submit
29. When an object looses energy, it contracts, or becomes smaller

Explanation

When an object loses energy, it can contract or become smaller. This is because energy is often responsible for maintaining the object's structure and keeping its particles or components apart. When the energy decreases, the forces holding the object together weaken, causing it to contract or shrink in size. This phenomenon can be observed in various systems, such as when a gas cools down and its particles lose kinetic energy, causing the gas to condense into a liquid or solid state.

Submit
30. Matter that has no definite shape or volume

Explanation

Gas is the correct answer because it is a state of matter that has no definite shape or volume. Unlike solids and liquids, gases can expand to fill the entire space available to them. The particles in a gas are highly energetic and move freely, allowing them to spread out and occupy any container they are placed in. This lack of a fixed shape or volume is a defining characteristic of gases.

Submit
31. The change of a gas to liquid

Explanation

Condensation is the process in which a gas changes into a liquid state. When the temperature of a gas is lowered, its particles lose energy and move slower, causing them to come closer together. As a result, the gas particles form bonds and transform into liquid droplets. This process commonly occurs when warm, moist air comes into contact with a colder surface, such as when water vapor in the air condenses onto a cold window. Therefore, condensation is the correct answer for the given question.

Submit
32. When an object looses energy, it expands, or becomes bigger

Explanation

This statement is incorrect. When an object loses energy, it does not necessarily expand or become bigger. The size of an object is determined by factors such as temperature, pressure, and external forces, not solely by its energy. Energy loss can result in various effects depending on the system, such as a decrease in temperature or a change in state, but it does not directly cause expansion or increase in size.

Submit
33. Changing from a gas to liquid is:

Explanation

Condensation is the process in which a substance changes from its gaseous state to its liquid state. This occurs when the gas loses heat energy and the particles slow down, coming closer together and forming liquid droplets. This process commonly happens when warm, moist air comes into contact with a colder surface, such as when water vapor in the air condenses on a cold window pane. Therefore, condensation is the correct answer for the given question.

Submit
34. Liquids can slowly change into a gas, a process known as

Explanation

Evaporation is the correct answer because it refers to the process of a liquid slowly changing into a gas. This occurs when the liquid's molecules gain enough energy to break free from the surface and become vapor. Unlike condensation, which is the opposite process of gas turning into a liquid, evaporation does not require a specific temperature or pressure. Liquidation and freezing are unrelated to the transformation of a liquid into a gas.

Submit
35. When an object gains energy, it expands, or becomes bigger

Explanation

When an object gains energy, it absorbs the energy and its particles start to move faster. This increased motion causes the particles to spread out and occupy more space, resulting in the object expanding or becoming bigger. This phenomenon is observed in various systems, such as when a gas is heated, causing it to occupy a larger volume. Therefore, the statement "When an object gains energy, it expands, or becomes bigger" is true.

Submit
36. When an object gains energy, it contracts, or becomes smaller

Explanation

When an object gains energy, it usually expands or becomes larger, rather than contracting or becoming smaller. This is because energy causes the particles within the object to move more vigorously, resulting in increased kinetic energy and a larger overall volume. Therefore, the statement that an object contracts or becomes smaller when it gains energy is incorrect.

Submit
37. Does a liquid have a volume of its own?

Explanation

Liquids have their own volume because they take up space and have a definite shape that conforms to the container they are in. Unlike gases, which can expand or contract to fill any container, liquids have a fixed volume and cannot be compressed easily. Therefore, it is true that a liquid has a volume of its own.

Submit
38. A matter is heated it gains

Explanation

When a matter is heated, it gains thermal energy. Thermal energy refers to the energy that is generated by the movement of particles within a substance. As heat is applied to a matter, the particles within it start to vibrate and move faster, resulting in an increase in thermal energy. This energy can then be transferred to other objects or used to perform work. Therefore, the correct answer is Thermal Energy.

Submit
39. Heat can be transferred through:

Explanation

Heat can be transferred through solids, liquids, and gases. This is because heat transfer occurs through three main mechanisms: conduction, convection, and radiation. In solids, heat is primarily transferred through conduction, where the energy is passed from one molecule to another. In liquids and gases, heat can be transferred through both conduction and convection, where the molecules move and transfer the energy. Additionally, heat can also be transferred through radiation, which does not require a medium and can occur in all three states of matter. Therefore, heat can be transferred through all of the given options.

Submit
40. I happen when solid matter gains energy and turns into a liquid. What am I?

Explanation

Melting occurs when solid matter gains energy and turns into a liquid. This process involves the breaking of intermolecular forces that hold the solid together, allowing the particles to move more freely and take on the characteristics of a liquid. It is a phase transition that typically occurs when the temperature of the solid reaches its melting point.

Submit
41. Heat always flows from a warmer object to a cooler object

Explanation

Heat always flows from a warmer object to a cooler object because of the second law of thermodynamics, which states that heat naturally flows in the direction of decreasing temperature. This is due to the fact that heat is a form of energy that tends to spread out and equalize within a system. Therefore, in any given system, heat will naturally transfer from the object with a higher temperature to the object with a lower temperature until both objects reach thermal equilibrium.

Submit
42. The heat travels from a hot object to a cold one

Explanation

Heat always travels from a hot object to a cold one due to the principle of thermal equilibrium. This principle states that heat will naturally flow from an area of higher temperature to an area of lower temperature until both objects reach the same temperature. This process occurs through conduction, convection, or radiation. Therefore, it is correct to say that heat travels from a hot object to a cold one.

Submit
43. What is a conductor?

Explanation

A conductor is a material through which heat moves easily. This means that heat can flow through a conductor with minimal resistance. Conductors are typically materials that have high thermal conductivity, allowing them to transfer heat efficiently. Examples of conductors include metals like copper and aluminum.

Submit
44. The amount of energy is a solid, a liquid or a gas when  is cooled decreases

Explanation

When a solid, liquid, or gas is cooled, the amount of energy it possesses decreases. This is because cooling involves the removal of heat energy from the substance, causing its particles to slow down and have less kinetic energy. As a result, the substance transitions to a lower energy state, which is reflected in a decrease in its overall energy. Therefore, the statement "The amount of energy is a solid, a liquid or a gas when cooled decreases" is true.

Submit
45. The amount of matter an object takes contains:

Explanation

Mass is the correct answer because it refers to the quantity of matter present in an object. It is a measure of the inertia of an object and is independent of its location. Mass can be measured using a balance or scale and is typically expressed in units such as kilograms or grams. Volume, meter, and temperature are not directly related to the amount of matter an object contains.

Submit
46. Particles in a cold object have little thermal energy and move quickly

Explanation

Particles in a cold object have little thermal energy and move slowly. This is because temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles, so when an object is cold, its particles have lower kinetic energy and move at a slower pace.

Submit
47. Rain is an example of:

Explanation

Rain is an example of precipitation because it is a form of water that falls from the atmosphere to the Earth's surface. Precipitation includes any form of water, such as rain, snow, sleet, or hail, that falls from the clouds due to the condensation of water vapor. In the case of rain, the water droplets in the clouds combine and become heavy enough to fall to the ground under the force of gravity. Therefore, precipitation is the correct term to describe rain.

Submit
48. Contraction describes the phenomenon of objects getting bigger

Explanation

The statement is incorrect. Contraction actually describes the phenomenon of objects getting smaller or decreasing in size, rather than getting bigger.

Submit
49. Does a gas have a volume of its own?

Explanation

A gas does not have a volume of its own. Unlike solids and liquids, gases do not have a fixed shape or volume. They can expand and contract to fill the space available to them. The volume of a gas is determined by the container it is in.

Submit
50. How do particles move through a gas?

Explanation

Particles move quickly through a gas because they have high kinetic energy. Gas particles are in constant motion and collide with each other, transferring energy and momentum. These collisions cause the particles to move rapidly in random directions. The speed of gas particles is influenced by factors such as temperature, pressure, and the mass of the particles. Therefore, the correct answer is "Quickly" as it accurately describes the movement of particles in a gas.

Submit
51. Particles in liquids

Explanation

Particles in liquids are not stationary or fixed in place, but rather they have the ability to move. However, they are also closely packed together, unlike particles in gases. The correct answer states that particles in liquids slide past one another, which accurately describes their movement. This sliding motion allows liquids to flow and take the shape of their container.

Submit
52. Energy that makes particles in material move

Explanation

Thermal energy refers to the energy that is associated with the motion of particles within a material. It is the energy that causes particles to move and vibrate, resulting in an increase in temperature. This form of energy is generated by the heat transfer from one object to another, and it plays a crucial role in various processes such as heating, cooking, and power generation. Therefore, thermal energy is the correct answer as it accurately describes the energy that makes particles in a material move.

Submit
53. What material will warm up faster?

Explanation

Metal will warm up faster than plastic and wood because it has higher thermal conductivity. Thermal conductivity refers to the ability of a material to conduct heat. Metals generally have higher thermal conductivity compared to other materials, allowing them to transfer heat more efficiently. This means that when exposed to a heat source, metal will absorb and distribute the heat faster, resulting in a quicker increase in temperature compared to plastic or wood.

Submit
54. Heat always flows from a cooler object to a warmer  object

Explanation

Heat always flows from a warmer object to a cooler object. This is because heat transfer occurs in the direction of the temperature gradient, which means that heat naturally moves from areas of higher temperature to areas of lower temperature. This process is known as heat conduction and is a fundamental principle in thermodynamics. Therefore, the given statement is incorrect.

Submit
55. Does a solid have a liquid of its own?

Explanation

A solid does not have a liquid of its own. Solids have a fixed shape and volume, and their particles are tightly packed together. Liquids, on the other hand, have a fixed volume but take the shape of their container. So, solids do not possess a liquid phase that is unique to them.

Submit
56. The heat travels from a cold object to a hot one

Explanation

Heat always travels from a hot object to a cold one, not the other way around. This is because heat transfer occurs due to the difference in temperature between objects. Heat naturally flows from areas of higher temperature to areas of lower temperature in order to achieve thermal equilibrium. Therefore, the statement that heat travels from a cold object to a hot one is incorrect.

Submit
57. Particles in a hot object have little thermal energy and move slowly

Explanation

Particles in a hot object actually have a lot of thermal energy and move quickly. When an object is heated, its particles gain kinetic energy, causing them to move faster and collide with each other more frequently. This increased movement and collision result in an increase in temperature. Therefore, the statement that particles in a hot object have little thermal energy and move slowly is incorrect.

Submit
58. I happen when particles of water vapor lose energy and come closer together. What am I?

Explanation

Condensation occurs when particles of water vapor lose energy and come closer together. This process leads to the formation of liquid water droplets or solid ice crystals from the gaseous state. It typically happens when warm air containing water vapor cools down, causing the water vapor to condense into visible droplets or fog. Condensation is an essential part of the water cycle and is responsible for the formation of clouds, fog, and precipitation.

Submit
59. When a gas cools to the right temperature, it will

Explanation

When a gas cools to the right temperature, its particles lose energy and slow down. As a result, the particles come closer together and the intermolecular forces become stronger. This causes the gas to undergo a phase change and transform into a liquid. This process is known as condensation. Therefore, the correct answer is "Condense".

Submit
60. A measure of thermal energy, or how hot or cold something is, is

Explanation

Temperature is the correct answer because it is a measure of thermal energy or how hot or cold something is. It is a fundamental concept in physics and is commonly measured using a thermometer. Celsius and Fahrenheit are two different temperature scales used to quantify temperature, but they are not the measure of thermal energy itself.

Submit
61. Name two liquids

Explanation

The question asks for two liquids, and the given options include four liquids: paint, water, mercury, and milk. Therefore, the correct answer is paint and water.

Submit
62. Solids, liquids, and gases have to gain or lose some in order to change state. What am I?

Explanation

Solids, liquids, and gases undergo a change of state by gaining or losing energy. This energy can be in the form of heat, which causes the particles to move faster and break their bonds, resulting in a change of state. Money, mass, and speed do not have the ability to change state in the same way as solids, liquids, and gases. Therefore, the correct answer is energy.

Submit
63. I happen when heat makes liquid particles move faster and spread out. What am I?

Explanation

Boiling occurs when heat is applied to a liquid, causing the particles in the liquid to move faster and spread out. This increased movement and spreading out of the particles leads to the formation of bubbles and the conversion of the liquid into a gas. Therefore, boiling is the correct answer as it accurately describes the process of liquid particles becoming more energetic and spreading out due to the application of heat.

Submit
64. How do particles move through a liquid?

Explanation

Particles move through a liquid slowly because of the high viscosity of the liquid. Viscosity refers to the resistance of a fluid to flow, and liquids with high viscosity have strong internal friction that hinders the movement of particles. As a result, particles in a liquid experience a slower and more gradual movement compared to particles in a gas or a less viscous liquid.

Submit
65. What changes on moon due to gravity

Explanation

The weight of an object changes on the moon due to gravity. The moon has a weaker gravitational force compared to Earth, so objects weigh less on the moon. This is because weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity, and the strength of gravity determines the weight of an object. Mass, on the other hand, remains the same regardless of the location, as it is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. Temperature is not directly affected by gravity.

Submit
66. Energy which moves between objects:

Explanation

Heat is the energy that moves between objects. When there is a temperature difference between two objects, heat flows from the object with higher temperature to the object with lower temperature. It is a form of energy transfer that occurs due to the random motion of atoms and molecules. Heat can be transferred through conduction, convection, or radiation. Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact between objects, while convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids. Radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves. Therefore, heat is the correct answer as it represents the energy transfer between objects.

Submit
67. The amount of energy is a solid, a liquid or a gas when  is cooled increases

Explanation

When a solid, liquid, or gas is cooled, the amount of energy it contains decreases, not increases. Cooling causes the particles in the substance to slow down, resulting in a decrease in kinetic energy. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

Submit
68. What is an insulator?

Explanation

An insulator is a material that does not allow heat to easily pass through it. Unlike conductors, which allow heat to flow through them easily, insulators have high resistance to the transfer of heat. This property makes insulators useful for preventing the loss or gain of heat in various applications, such as in building insulation or electrical wiring.

Submit
69. How do particles move through a solid?

Explanation

Particles do not move through a solid because the particles in a solid are tightly packed together and held in fixed positions by strong forces of attraction. This lack of mobility prevents the particles from freely moving and flowing through the solid. Therefore, the correct answer is "They Don't".

Submit
70. The amount of space an object takes up:

Explanation

Volume is the correct answer because it refers to the amount of space that an object occupies. It is a measurement of the three-dimensional space that an object occupies, and it is typically measured in cubic units such as cubic meters or cubic centimeters. Mass, meter, and temperature do not directly relate to the amount of space an object takes up. Mass refers to the amount of matter in an object, meter is a unit of length, and temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles in a substance.

Submit
71. Name two poor conductors

Explanation

Wood and plastic are both poor conductors of electricity. This is because they are both insulators, meaning they do not allow electric current to flow easily through them. Insulators have high resistance to the flow of electrons, which prevents the electricity from passing through. In contrast, conductors like metals have low resistance and allow electric current to flow freely. Wood and plastic are commonly used as insulating materials in electrical applications to prevent the risk of electric shock or short circuits.

Submit
72. What material is a better insulator?

Explanation

Wood is a better insulator compared to plastic and metal. This is because wood has a lower thermal conductivity, meaning it does not easily transfer heat. It has small air pockets within its structure that trap heat and prevent it from escaping. Plastic and metal, on the other hand, have higher thermal conductivities, allowing heat to flow through them more easily. Therefore, wood is able to provide better insulation and retain heat more effectively.

Submit
73. Name two gases

Explanation

The question asks for two gases, and the options provided include helium, air, water vapor, and exhaust. All of these options are gases. Helium is a noble gas commonly used in balloons. Air is a mixture of gases, including nitrogen, oxygen, and trace amounts of other gases. Water vapor is the gaseous form of water. Exhaust refers to the gases emitted from a vehicle or machine. Therefore, all four options are correct answers to the question.

Submit
74. Name two solids

Explanation

The question asks for two solids, and the answer includes four options: iron, ice, blocks, and fish. Iron is a solid metal, ice is solid water, and blocks can refer to solid objects made of various materials. However, fish is not a solid, but a living organism that belongs to the category of animals.

Submit
75. Name two good conductors

Explanation

Aluminum, Copper, and Iron are all good conductors of electricity. They have a high electrical conductivity due to the presence of free electrons in their atomic structure. These free electrons can move easily through the material, allowing for the efficient flow of electric current. This property makes them suitable for use in electrical wiring, power transmission lines, and various electronic devices.
