2. What is the state of matter that has no fixed shape and no fixed volume?
a. Solid b. Liquid c. Gas
3. What do you call the change in a state of matter from a gas to a liquid?
a. Evaporation b. Condensation c. Freezing
5. Both steel and chalk are solids. What properties of steel make it more useful for making bridges than chalk?
7. Make a flowchart (along with diagram of particles) to explain what happens at particle level when –
a. heat energy is provided to particles in solid state
(Hint : particles in solid → particles get energy and move apart, changing into liquid → particles get
further energy and move further apart, forming a gas)
10. Tara and Gaurav were arguing with each other. Gaurav felt that the arrangement of particles in different solid
can be different. Tara on the other hand, argued that different solids cannot have different arrangement of
particles. Who do you agree with? Explain why.
(Hint : Recall the 2 types of solids discussed in class – crystalline and amorphous)
11. Fill in the ovals with names of change of state (in the image given below) -
13. Gases are easily compressed while it is difficult to compress solids. Use particle diagrams to explain why.
16. Explain how particles use the absorbed energy to change state.
17. You get to be a molecule in a solid, a liquid, or a gas. Which would you rather be? Why?
18. Sourabh is blowing air into a liquid using a straw. Draw what the bubbles would look like in the liquid, at the
particle level.
(Hint : It is an air bubble inside a liquid. Thus, draw the particles of a gas inside the air bubble, surrounded by
particles of the liquid inside which the bubbles are formed)
20. Jai wants to make Jalebis but does not have much time to prepare a concentrated sugar syrup. Gauri suggests
that he use boiling water to make his sugar syrup. Please help Jai decide if he should pay heed to Gauri’s advice.
(Hint : boiling water → particles having more energy → particles moving faster and thus having more spaces
between them → thus it is easier for sugar to dissolve in boiling water)
