Practise MYP Chemistry questions on 1.1 States and Properties of Matter and review the explanations to check your understanding.
Use these questions for topic practice and to find ideas you want to revisit in your notes or lessons.
Which statement correctly distinguishes between boiling and evaporation?
Which of the following changes of state involves the most significant decrease in density for a typical substance?
In the particle model, the primary reason a liquid can flow while a solid cannot is that the forces of attraction between liquid particles are:
According to the kinetic theory of gases, the average kinetic energy of gas particles is directly proportional to the absolute temperature measured in which unit?
According to the particle model, why does a liquid take the shape of the bottom of its container but not expand to fill the entire container like a gas?
Boiling is an exothermic process, whereas evaporation is an endothermic process
Evaporation only occurs at the boiling point of the liquid
Evaporation is a cooling process, while boiling requires a constant external heat source to maintain temperature
Boiling occurs only at the surface, while evaporation occurs throughout the liquid
Freezing
Boiling
Condensation
Deposition
completely absent
much stronger than the forces holding particles in a solid lattice
strong enough to keep particles close but weak enough to allow them to move past each other
only effective when the liquid is at its boiling point
Joules
Celsius
Kelvin
Fahrenheit
The particles are far apart with weak forces
Strong attractive forces keep the particles close together
The particles are locked in a fixed lattice structure
The particles have no kinetic energy to move upwards
