Questions + Answers key
Take MCQ Science Test

1.
Give two reasons to justify:
(a) water at room temperature is a liquid.
(b) an iron almirah is a solid at room temperature.
2.
Convert the following temperatures to Kelvin scale.
(a) \(25°C\)
(b) \(373°C.\)
3.
What type of clothes should we wear in summer?
4.
How does the water kept in an earthen pot(matka) become cool during summer?
5.
Name the state of matter in which:
(i) layers of particles can slip and slide over each other
(ii)particles just move around randomly because of very weak force of attraction.
6.
List two properties that liquids have in common with gases.
7.
A wooden chair is a solid at room temperature.Give two reasons.
8.
Differentiate between properties or characteristics of three states of matter.
1.
(a) Water at room temperature is a liquid because it has fluidity and assumes the shape of the containing vessel.
(b) An almirah is a solid because it is rigid and has a fixed shape.
2.
(a) \(25°C=25+273=298K\)
(b) \(373°C=373+273=646K.\)
3.
We should wear cotton clothes during summer season.Because during summer we perspire more to maintain the temperature of our body.Cotton is a good absorber of water(sweat).It then exposes the water to atmosphere for easy evaporation leaving us dry and cool.
4.
Earthern pot becomes cool during summers particularly on hot dry day because water evaporation from the pot becomes easier.
5.
(i) Liquid
(ii) Gas
6.
common properties of liquids and gases:
(a) Both have fluidity.
(b) Both attain the shape of the container.
7.
A wooden chair is a solid because
(a) it is rigid.
(b) it has definite shape.
8.
| S.NO | Properties | Solids | Liquids | Gases |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (i) | Rigidity and compressibility |
They are rigid and cannot be compressed |
Ther are not rigid and can be compressed to a little extent | They are not rigid at all and can be easily compressed |
| (ii) | Shape | They have definite shape | They take the shape of the containing vessel | They have no definite shape |
| (iii) | Volume | They have definite volume | They have definite volume | They have no definite volume |
| (iv) | Fluidity | Fluidity is nil i.e., they cannot flow. | They are slippery and flow from higher level to lower level | they flow in all directions. |
| (v) | Storage | They can be stored without vessel | They can be stored in a vessel only. Open vessel may also work. | They can be stored in a closed vessel only |
| (vi) | Intermolecular force | Intermolecular force is maximum | Intermolecular force is lesser than in solids but greater than gases | Intermolecular force is minimum. |
| (vii) | Space | Intermolecular space is least | Intermolecular space is greater than solids but lesser than gases. | Intermolecular space is maximum |
| (viii) | Diffusion | Diffusion is almost nil | Diffuse slowly | Diffuse easily |
