SECTION – 1

Write the physical state of matter that shows the property given below :
i) Rigid and compressible.
ii) Most compressible form of matter.
iii) Have definite volume but fixed shape.
iv) Has largest inter particle space but weakest form of attraction.

Name the process –

i) A solid that melts at 0⁰C.
ii) A gas that can be liquefied under pressure at ordinary temperature.
iii) A substance that exists as a solid at ordinary temperature but changes to vapour on
heating.

Answer the following: on heating solids—

i) do the particles gain or lose energy
ii) does the intermolecular attraction between particles increase or decrease.

Fill in the blanks :

i) Temperature ___________ while a solid substance is___________ or a liquid
substance is___________
ii) A vapour on cooling changes into ___________and further cooling changes into
___________
iii) Matter changes from one state to another either by raising the___________ or
lowering the ___________
iv) A change in which a solid, on heating, directly changes into ___________ state is
called ___________
v) The intermolecular spaces are ___________ in gaseous and___________ in solids.

Match the following :

Column A Column B
A. Constituent of matter 1) Gas
B. No compressibility 2) Solid
C. Maximum expansion 3) Molecules
D. Conversion of a gas 4) Condensation into liquid

Sponge is considered as solid yet we are able to compress it. Why ?
