Question
Answer
What are the three states of matter   Liquid, Solid , Gas  
🗑
Give an example of a liquid   One could be: Water, Milk etc  
🗑
Give an example of a solid   Could be: Rock, Iron, Wood etc  
🗑
Give an example of a gas   Could be: Carbon Dioxide, Oxygen, Hydrogen  
🗑
What is matter   All of the stuff in the world is matter. anything that takes up space is matter.  
🗑
What is a measuring cylinder used for?   It meaures the volume of liquids  
🗑
How is a measuring cylinder used to measure the volume of a solid object?   You put the object into the measuring cylinder and compare the water level before and after. The increase is the volume of the object.  
🗑
The curved water line in a graduated cylinder is called…..   A meniscus  
🗑
How do you calculate the volume of a solid?   Length x width x height  
🗑
How do you calculate density?   Mass divided by volume  
🗑
Define volume.   How much space matter takes up  
🗑
Define density.   Relates the mass of an object to its volume  
🗑
Define Mass.   The amount of matter in an object  
🗑
What unit do you use to measure matter?   Grams  
🗑
What unit do we use normally use to measure volume?   Centimetres cubed  
🗑
Matter is anything....   which occupies space and has mass  
🗑
Mass is the ...   amount of matter in anything  
🗑
Mass is measured in ...   grams  
🗑
Solids have a…..   fixed shape and volume  
🗑
Liquids have a fixed…   Volume  
🗑
Liquids have no fixed…   Shape  
🗑
Gases have no fixed…   Volume OR Shape  
🗑
Why can gases be compressed?   Because there are large spaces between its particles.  
🗑
What word do Scientist use to describe the change that takes place in the size of substances when they are heated?   Expansion  
🗑
Are gas particles are free to move?   Yes  
🗑
When a solid changes to a liquid this is called…   Melting  
🗑
When a liquid changes to steam this is called..   Boiling  
🗑
When steam changes to water this is called….   Condensing  
🗑
When water changes to ice this is called….   Freezing  
🗑
If a liquid changes to a gas slowly this is called….   Evaporating  
🗑
Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of….   high concentration to an area of low concentration until it is evenly spread.  
🗑
Can liquids be compressed?   NO  
🗑
Can gases be compressed?   YES  
🗑
What word do Scientist use to describe the change that takes place in the size of substances when they are cooled?   Contraction  
🗑
Do the particles of a substance increase in size when they are heated?   No - the spaces between the particles increase in size.  
🗑
Do the spaces between the particles of a substance decrease in size when they are cooled?   Yes  
🗑
In which state of matter does Diffusion take place fastest?   Gases  
🗑
