Physical Properties of Solids Liquids and Gases starts at 6 and continues till grade 12.
QuestionsToday has an evolving set of questions to continuously challenge students so that their knowledge grows in Physical Properties of Solids Liquids and Gases.
How you perform is determined by your score and the time you take.
When you play a quiz, your answers are evaluated in concept instead of actual words and definitions used.
See sample questions for grade 7
A block of wood has a mass of 200 g and a volume of 250 cm³. What is its density in g/cm³?
A gas is placed in a container. If the container is made smaller, what happens to the gas particles?
A student observes that a metal rod can be bent without breaking. Which physical property is being observed?
A student pours water into a glass. The water takes the shape of the glass but does not change its volume. What property of liquids does this demonstrate?
Describe the arrangement of particles in a solid.
Explain why a liquid has a definite volume but no definite shape.
Explain why gases can be compressed more easily than solids or liquids.
Explain why gases do not have a definite shape or volume.
Explain why solids cannot flow like liquids or gases.
Name one physical property that can be used to identify a substance without changing its composition.
State one physical property that distinguishes solids from liquids.
A 500 mL sample of a gas is compressed to 250 mL at constant temperature. What happens to the density of the gas?
A scientist places equal volumes of a solid, a liquid, and a gas in three identical, sealed containers. After some time, only the gas completely fills its container, while the solid and liquid do not. Explain why this happens based on the physical properties of each state of matter.
A student notices that when a liquid is heated, it eventually turns into a gas. What physical property of the liquid is being observed during this process?
Explain why a gas will spread out to fill the entire volume of its container, while a solid will not.
