Particle Theory Question

The document contains a series of questions and explanations related to the states of matter and their properties, including processes like melting, vaporization, condensation, and freezing. It also compares solids, liquids, and gases in terms of intermolecular space, forces of attraction, and particle movement. Additionally, it includes matching exercises and definitions for key terms associated with changes in states of matter.

b. liquid
c. Gas

6. Matter in any state is composed of particles. Compare the three


states of matter i.e. solids, liquids and gasses with reference to:
a. Intermolecular space
b. Intermolecular force of attraction

Space No space Little space Lots of space


Force of attraction Strong Weaker but Very weak
touching

Movement Vibrate on the Move in and out Move very fast


spot of each- other

7. State what would you observe if

(a) Sugar is added to pebbles taken in a plastic beaker.

(b) Sand is added to glass balls in a beaker.

(c) Sugar is added to glass of water

What would you conclude with this observation?


8. Match the characteristics of the three states of matter in List I with their correct
answer from List II:

List I List II

1. Are highly rigid and have a definite shape A : Solids and gases only

2. Have no definite shape B : solids only

3. Have a definite volume but no definite C : Liquids and gases only


shape

4. Are highly compressible and least rigid D : Gases only


5. Have no definite volume E : Solids, liquids and
gases

6. Have no definite shape and volume F : Liquids only

7. Occupy space G : Solids and liquids only

8. Are not compressible

9. Are slightly compressible

10. Have mass

9. State the correct answer from A, B, C, D, E or F in List II which represents the


change of state of matter or its relevant property from List I

List I List II

1. Solid ‘X’ to liquid ‘Y’ A : Condensation

2. Liquid ‘Y’ to its vapour ‘Z’ B : Vaporization


3. ‘Z’ to ‘Y’ C : Melting

4. ‘Y’ to ‘X’ D : Freezing

5. The temperature at which ‘Y’ changes to ‘Z’ E : Melting point

F : Boiling point

10. Explain the terms:

(a) Melting- Melting is the process in which solid turns to liquid when heated

(b) Vaporization-Vaporization is the process in which liquid turns to gas when heated

(c) Condensation- Condensaṭion is the process in which gas turns to liquid when cooled

(d) Freezing- freezing is the process in which liquid turns to solid when cooled

(e) Melting point- The temperature at which a solid turns to liquid

(f) Boiling point- The temperature at which a liquid turns to gas
