41). The particles in a gas are packed closely together and vibrate in place.
Answer: False (The particles in a gas are far apart and move freely.)
Answer: True
Answer: False (Ice melts into water before it changes into gas.)
Answer: True
45) Gases are easily compressed because their particles are spread far apart.
Answer: True
Answer: False (Sublimation is the process where a solid changes directly into a gas.)
Answer: False (Condensation is the process where a gas turns into a liquid.)
Answer: True
49. Liquids have no definite volume but take the shape of their container.
Answer: False (Liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of their container.)
50. Matter can exist in only two states: solid and liquid.
Answer: False (Matter can exist in three states: solid, liquid, and gas.)
Answer: True
Answer: False (Heat causes solids to expand and liquids to expand as well, but gases tend to expand
more than liquids.)
54. The particles in a liquid are more spread out than in a solid.
Answer: True
55)The particles in a solid move freely and are spread far apart.
Answer: False (The particles in a solid are closely packed and only vibrate in place.)
Answer: False (Gas molecules have neither a fixed shape nor a fixed volume. They expand to fill the
container.)
Answer: True
58) A solid cannot be compressed because the particles are tightly packed.
Answer: True
59 When a substance undergoes a physical change, its chemical composition also changes.
Answer: False (A physical change does not alter the chemical composition of a substance.)
60) When the temperature of a gas increases at constant pressure, its volume increases.
Answer: True (This is an example of Charles' Law, where the volume of a gas increases as its
temperature increases, if pressure is constant.)
61)When a solid is heated, it can directly turn into a gas without passing through the liquid state.
This process is called condensation.
Answer: False (This process is called sublimation, not condensation. Condensation is when a gas
turns into a liquid.)
Answer: True
Answer: False (Liquids are much less compressible than gases because the particles in a liquid are
closer together.)
64) A substance that is a gas at room temperature will always remain a gas at lower temperatures.
Answer: False (Gases can turn into liquids or solids when the temperature is lowered below their
boiling or freezing points.)
65)In a liquid, the particles are spread far apart but can still move around each other.
Answer: True
67)The volume of a gas decreases when the pressure increases, provided the temperature is
constant.
Answer: True (This is an example of Boyle's Law, where the pressure and volume of a gas are
inversely related at constant temperature.)
68) The freezing point of water is the same as its melting point, which is 0°C.
Answer: True
69)When a liquid changes into a gas, the particles lose energy and move closer together.
Answer: False (When a liquid changes into a gas, the particles gain energy and move farther apart.)
70) Sublimation is the process where a gas turns directly into a solid.
Answer: False (Sublimation is when a solid changes directly into a gas, not the other way around.)
70. If a gas is compressed in a fixed container, its temperature will increase.
Answer: True (Compressing a gas increases its temperature due to the increase in particle collisions,
which releases heat.)
Answer: False (Liquids expand and contract with temperature changes, but their volume changes
much less than gases.)
Answer: True
73) When a substance changes from one state of matter to another, the mass of the substance also
changes.
Answer: False (The mass of the substance remains the same during a change of state. Only the form
or energy of the substance changes.)
