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 8
A 200 g block of metal has a volume of 50 cm³. What is its density in g/cm³?
A gas is compressed in a syringe. What happens to the distance between its particles?
A student observes that a balloon expands when heated. What property of gases does this demonstrate?
Describe how the particles in a liquid are arranged and how they move.
Describe what happens to the particles of a solid when it is heated and melts into a liquid.
Explain why gases have much lower densities than solids and liquids.
Explain why liquids can flow but solids cannot.
Explain why solids cannot be compressed easily.
The boiling point of water is 100°C at standard atmospheric pressure. Is this a physical or chemical property?
What is the term for the temperature at which a solid changes to a liquid?
Which property allows a gas to fill any container completely?
Which state of matter has a fixed volume but takes the shape of its container?
Which state of matter has the highest density?
Which state of matter has the least intermolecular forces?
Which state of matter is described by the following: 'Particles are close together but can move past each other.'
Which state of matter is most likely to have the highest kinetic energy among its particles?
Which state of matter takes both the shape and volume of its container?
A scientist compares the rate of diffusion of a colored gas and a colored liquid in separate transparent containers. The gas spreads throughout its container much faster than the liquid. Explain why this difference occurs based on the physical properties of gases and liquids.
A sealed container holds 100 mL of a liquid and 100 mL of a gas at the same temperature. If the pressure on both is increased, which state of matter will show a greater decrease in volume? Explain your answer.
A student notices that when a solid is heated, it expands slightly, but when a gas is heated, it expands greatly. Explain this observation in terms of particle arrangement and movement.
