States of Matter Worksheet Answers

1) The document describes the particle theory of matter and the three common states of matter - solids, liquids, and gases. It explains that in solids, particles are close together and vibrate in fixed positions, in liquids particles move freely but maintain contact, and in gases particles move independently. 2) It provides diagrams to illustrate the arrangement of particles in solids and liquids. The document also discusses the relative strength of interparticle forces between the different states and how these forces change during phase changes such as melting, boiling, condensation, and freezing. 3) Key terms like particles, states of matter, and the behaviors of particles in each state are defined and examples of true and false statements about phase changes

STATES OF MATTER
FIRST TRIMESTER SIXTH GRADE 2018-2019
Name: ANSWER KEY Group: 6th ____

Date: Teacher: Natalia González & Maria José Montoya Mejía

GOAL:
The student is able to describe how the particle theory of matter can be used to explain the properties of
solids, liquids and gases, including changes of state.

I. Use the phrases from the box below to complete the sentences below.
Use each word once, more than once, or not at all.

Gas – strong – solution – different – identical – particles – states – weak –


molecules – liquid - vibrate on the spot – move around from place to place

All substances are made up of …PARTICLES… In any one substance, all the
particles are …IDENTICAL… A substance can exist as a solid, …LIQUID…, or
gas. These are the three …STATES… of matter. In a gas the particles …MOVE
AROUND FROM PLACE TO PLACE… There are very …WEAK… forces of
attraction between the particles in a gas.

II. a. Draw the arrangements of particles in a substance in the


solid state.

b. Describe the behaviour of the particles in the solid.


…The particles are close together, they vibrate in the spot
and have definite shape.…

III. A student drew the diagram to the right to


represent the particles in a liquid. Explain
what is wrong with the diagram, and draw a
better one in the empty box.

…The particles in a liquid take the shape of the


container, so all of them should go to the end
of the recipient and there’s weaker forces of attraction than in solid
state…

a. Condensation is the change of state from gas to liquid.


c. When a substance changes state from liquid to gas, the forces of attraction
between its particles get weaker.

get stronger.

VIII. In the diagrams below each circle represents one atom. Circles with the
same shading are atoms of the same element. Circles with different
shading are atoms of different elements.
