Kinetic Theory of Matter

Question 1 of 12

1

What does the kinetic theory of matter state?

Select one of the following:

  • All matter is made up of very small cells that are in constant motion

  • For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction

  • The particles of a substance will stay at rest unless heated

  • All matter is made of small particles that are in continuous random motion

Explanation

Question 2 of 12

1

Which state has the least densely packed molecules?

Select one of the following:

  • Solid

  • Liquid

  • Gas

  • Plasma

Explanation

Question 3 of 12

1

Have a fixed volume

Select one or more of the following:

  • Solid

  • Liquid

  • Gas

  • Air

Explanation

Question 4 of 12

1

Have a fixed shape

Select one or more of the following:

  • Solid

  • Liquid

  • Gas

  • Perfume

Explanation

Question 5 of 12

1

How solids move around

Select one of the following:

  • Osmosis

  • Vibration

  • Extremely quickly

  • In a straight line until it hits the walls of the container

Explanation

Question 6 of 12

1

Why does a solid expand upon heating?

Select one of the following:

  • The mean size of each molecule expands with each change in degree Kelvin

  • The air between the molecules exert a pressure that is equal in force to that of the solid molecules

  • Increased vibration causes molecules to move away from forces of attraction, therefore occupying more space

Explanation

Question 7 of 12

1

When the temperature of a solid increases then

Select one or more of the following:

  • The volume increases

  • The volume decreases

  • The density increases

  • The density decreases

  • The mass decreases

  • The mass increases

  • Nothing at all changes

Explanation

Question 8 of 12

1

Not easily compressed

Select one or more of the following:

  • Solids

  • Liquids

  • Gases

Explanation

Question 9 of 12

1

Shape affected by shape of container

Select one or more of the following:

  • Solids

  • Liquids

  • Gases

Explanation

Question 10 of 12

1

Why does't latent heat of fusion cause change in temperature

Select one of the following:

  • The liquid is not being heated at all

  • Potential energy changes instead of kinetic

  • IS THIS A TRICK!?! Of course it changes temperature

  • Not enough energy is absorbed

Explanation

Question 11 of 12

1

True of Evaporation

Select one or more of the following:

  • Surface phenomenon

  • Occurs only at a specific temperature range

  • Change from liquid to gas

  • Increased when the surface area is increased

  • Temperature does not affect it all

  • Breeze increases the rate of evaporation

  • Causes cooling of surface

Explanation

Question 12 of 12

1

True of Boiling

Select one or more of the following:

  • Surface phenomenon

  • Occurs only at a specific temperature

  • Change from liquid to gas

  • The entire liquid is at 1 temperature
