Quiz On Solids, Liquids And Gases! Trivia - Quiz

    What is evaporation?

    • Liquid turns to gas

    • Gas turns to liquid

    • Water turns to ice

    • Ice turns to water

    Correct Answer
    A. Liquid turns to gas
    Explanation
    Evaporation is the process in which a liquid, such as water, turns into a gas state, usually due to the increase in temperature. This occurs when the molecules of the liquid gain enough energy to overcome the intermolecular forces holding them together, causing them to escape into the air as vapor. Evaporation is a natural phenomenon that happens on the surface of bodies of water, as well as in various industrial processes like drying clothes or distillation.

    What does not change shape when they are moved?

    • Solids

    • Liquids

    • Gases

    • Matter

    Correct Answer
    A. Solids
    Explanation
    Solids do not change shape when they are moved. Unlike liquids and gases, which can flow and take the shape of their containers, solids maintain their shape and volume. This is due to the strong intermolecular forces between the particles in a solid, which keep them in a fixed arrangement. Matter is a general term that encompasses solids, liquids, and gases, so it is not the specific answer to the question.

  • 4. 

    Evaporation is when liquid changes to a ____________.

    Correct Answer
    gas
    Explanation
    Evaporation is a process in which a liquid, such as water, changes into its gaseous state. This occurs when the molecules of the liquid gain enough energy to break free from their bonds and escape into the surrounding environment. As a result, the liquid transforms into a gas, dispersing and becoming less dense. Evaporation is a crucial part of the water cycle and plays a significant role in various natural processes, such as the formation of clouds and precipitation.

  • 5. 

    Condensation is when gas changes to ___________.

    Correct Answer
    liquid
    Explanation
    Condensation is the process in which a gas changes its state to become a liquid. This occurs when the gas loses heat energy and its particles slow down, coming closer together. As a result, the gas molecules form bonds and become a liquid. This transformation is commonly observed when water vapor in the air cools down and turns into liquid water droplets, such as when dew forms on grass or when steam condenses into water on a cold surface.

    What is condensation?

    • Liquid turns to gas.

    • Gas turns to liquid.

    • Ice turns into jelly.

    • Ice turns into gas.

    Correct Answer
    A. Gas turns to liquid.
    Explanation
    Condensation is the process by which a gas changes into a liquid. This occurs when the temperature of a gas decreases, causing the molecules to slow down and lose energy. As the molecules lose energy, they come closer together and form intermolecular bonds, resulting in a change from the gaseous state to the liquid state.

    What is the matter that has no size or shape of its own?

    • Solids

    • Liquids

    • Gases

    • Matter

    Correct Answer
    A. Gases
    Explanation
    Gases are the matter that has no size or shape of their own. Unlike solids and liquids, gases do not have a definite shape or volume. They can expand to fill the entire space available to them and can be compressed into smaller volumes. Gases consist of individual particles that are constantly moving and have a lot of empty space between them. This allows gases to take on the shape and volume of their container, making them the matter with no specific size or shape.

    Which is NOT a form of water?

    • Ice (solid water)

    • Water (liquid water)

    • Water vapor (gas water)

    • Swimming pool (swimming water)

    Correct Answer
    A. Swimming pool (swimming water)
    Explanation
    The swimming pool is not a form of water because it is a container or a body of water, not a specific form of water itself. Ice, water, and water vapor are the three main forms of water, representing the solid, liquid, and gas states respectively. The swimming pool, on the other hand, is simply a pool or body of water that can contain any form of water.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    ________________ can change ice into liquid (water).

    Correct Answer
    heat
    Explanation
    Heat is the energy transferred from one object to another due to a difference in temperature. When heat is applied to ice, it increases the temperature of the ice, causing the ice to melt and transform into liquid water. This process is known as melting or thawing. Therefore, heat is the factor that can change ice into liquid water.
