Questions with solutions
Q1 — States of Matter · easy · theory
The three common states of matter are …
A. Hot, warm and cold
B. Solid, liquid and gas ✓ Correct
C. Big, medium and small
D. Hard, soft and wet
Solution: The three common states in which matter is found are solid, liquid and gas.
Q2 — States of Matter · easy · theory
Which of these is a solid?
A. A wooden block ✓ Correct
B. Air
C. Milk
D. Fruit juice
Solution: A wooden block has a fixed shape and size, so it is a solid.
Q3 — States of Matter · easy · theory
Which state of matter has a fixed shape of its own?
A. Gas
B. Solid ✓ Correct
C. Steam
D. Liquid
Solution: A solid keeps its own fixed shape, unlike a liquid or a gas.
Q4 — States of Matter · easy · theory
When a liquid is poured into a bottle, it takes the shape of …
A. Only a square shape
B. Nothing, it keeps one shape
C. The bottle it is poured into ✓ Correct
D. Only a round shape
Solution: A liquid has no fixed shape, so it takes the shape of the container it is poured into.
Q5 — States of Matter · medium · theory
Gases have no fixed shape and no fixed …
A. Volume ✓ Correct
B. Colour
C. Name
D. Number
Solution: A gas spreads out completely, so it has neither a fixed shape nor a fixed volume.
Q6 — States of Matter · medium · theory
When ice melts, it changes from a …
A. Solid to a liquid ✓ Correct
B. Liquid to a gas
C. Liquid to a solid
D. Gas to a solid
Solution: Ice is solid water; on melting it turns into liquid water, so it changes from solid to liquid.
Q7 — States of Matter · medium · theory
Which state of matter can be squeezed (compressed) into a smaller space most easily?
A. Gas ✓ Correct
B. Liquid
C. Solid
D. Ice
Solution: A gas has lots of empty space between its particles, so it can be compressed easily.
Q8 — States of Matter · medium · theory
In which state of matter are the particles packed most closely together?
A. Vapour
B. Liquid
C. Solid ✓ Correct
D. Gas
Solution: In a solid the particles are packed very tightly and closely, giving it a fixed shape.
Q9 — States of Matter · hard · theory
A gas is let out from a bottle into a room. What does it do?
A. Turns into a pool of liquid
B. Stays inside the bottle shape
C. Spreads out to fill the whole room ✓ Correct
D. Falls to the floor as a solid
Solution: A gas has no fixed shape or volume, so it spreads out to fill all the space available to it.
Q10 — States of Matter · hard · theory
A liquid has a fixed ____ but no fixed ____.
A. volume; shape ✓ Correct
B. colour; smell
C. shape; size
D. shape; volume
Solution: A liquid always keeps the same volume but takes the shape of its container, so it has a fixed volume but no fixed shape.
