1. Which characteristic of matter is demonstrated when sugar particles spread throughout water without a change in water level?

A) Particles of matter are continuously moving. B) Particles of matter are very small. C) Particles of matter have space between them. D) Particles of matter attract each other.

2. What happens to the kinetic energy of particles as the temperature of a substance rises?

A) It decreases. B) It remains constant. C) It increases. D) It first decreases then increases.

3. The intermixing of particles of two different types of matter on their own is called:

A) Condensation B) Evaporation C) Diffusion D) Sublimation

4. Which state of matter has a definite shape, distinct boundaries, and fixed volume?

A) Liquid B) Gas C) Solid D) Plasma

5. Why is a sponge considered a solid, even though it can be compressed?

6. Which property allows liquids to flow and change shape, making them non-rigid?

A) Compressibility B) Density C) Fluidity D) Rigidity

7. Why can gases be highly compressed compared to solids and liquids?

A) Due to strong forces of attraction between particles. B) Due to large spaces between their particles. C) Due to very low kinetic energy of particles. D) Due to definite shape and volume.
