What is the correct order matter? most energy A liquid B gas C gas D solid

for the energy of the particles in the three states of gas liquid solid liquid least energy solid solid liquid gas

2.

Gases are easily compressed but not liquids. From this statement, it can be inferred that A B C D the the the the gaseous gaseous gaseous gaseous particles particles particles particles move less rapidly than liquid particles. move more rapidly than liquid particles. are spaced further apart than liquid particles. have less energy than liquid particles.

3.

What happens to the molecules when steam condenses to water at room temperature? A C Molecules become regularly arranged. B Molecules move further apart. D Molecules become smaller. Molecules lose energy.

4.

The diagram represents a closed vessel containing equal volumes of water and steam at 100oC and atmospheric pressure.
Steam Water

Which of the following statements is A B C D

correct?

Equal numbers of molecules are present in the steam and in the water. The only type of movement possible for molecules in the water is vibration. Some of the molecules in the steam split into hydrogen and oxygen molecules. Molecules can move from the water into the steam and from the steam into the water.

5.

The melting and boiling points of four substances are given in the table. Which substance is a liquid at room conditions and will evaporates very quickly if left exposed to the air?
