What happens to the material in a can when it is crushed?

Rusting is a type of ________ change that occurs when metals are exposed to oxygen.

Match the following terms with their definitions:

Which classification best describes strawberry jam?

Crystalline solids melt at a specific temperature.

What property of water allows a magnetized needle to lie on its surface?

The particles in a solid are packed very closely together, and they vibrate in ______.

Match the following materials with their corresponding properties:

What happened to the thermal energy of the ice while Chase and Bernice were ice-fishing?

The temperature outside was warmer than the temperature in the gym, causing the air pressure in the basketballs to decrease.

What does a straight line on Kenneth's graph indicate about the relationship between the temperature and volume of gas?

In a model of a lithium atom, three students represent _____ and wear signs with a '+'.

Test Questions and Answers

Topic 1, Question 1: Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space.
Topic 1, Question 2: Physical changes include boiling water, breaking ice, and carving a wooden statue.
Topic 1, Question 3: Crushing cans is a physical change because the amount of material in each can stays the same; only the form changes.
Topic 2, Question 1: Jam is an example of an amorphous solid, as it has a definite volume, but a variable shape.
Topic 2, Question 2: Recycled plastic bottles, when heated, are amorphous solids, and their particles are arranged far apart from each other. These solids melt at specific temperatures.
Topic 2, Question 3: Surface tension allows a needle to float on water.
Topic 2, Question 4: The particles in a solid are packed closely together, vibrating in place, and this gives solids a fixed volume and shape.
Topic 3, Question 7 (Multiple Choice): The best explanation for the change in basketballs is that the colder temperature outside causes the air inside to decrease in pressure.
Topic 3, Question 8 (Graph): At a temperature of 20K, the gas sample has a volume of 110 mL.
Topic 3, Question 1 (Multiple Choice): A neutron is an atomic particle with no charge.
Topic 3, Question 2 (Multiple Choice): Isotopes are atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.
Topic 4, Question 1: A heterogeneous mixture has unevenly distributed components, while a homogeneous mixture has evenly distributed components.
Topic 4, Question 2: Water is the solvent, and sugar is a solute in grape juice.
Topic 3 (Further Questions, page 15): Plutonium (Pu) has an Atomic Mass of 244.064, Atomic Number 94, and Symbol Pu.
Topic 3 (Further Questions, page 15): Chlorine (Cl) has 17 Protons, 18 Neutrons, and 17 Electrons; Erbium (Er) has 68 Protons, 99 Neutrons, and 68 Electrons
Topic 4 (Balancing Equations, page 17): Example balancing equation responses are provided (N2→NH3, Pb(OH)2 + HCl→H2O + PbCL2, HNO3 + NaHCO3 → NaNO3 + H2O + CO2), missing components are provided in the questions.
Further Questions (Miscellaneous): This section includes a mix of other scientific concepts from the test.

Test your knowledge on the properties of matter, physical changes, and the characteristics of solids through this quiz. Topics include amorphous solids, surface tension, and the behavior of particles in different states of matter. Perfect for students reviewing key concepts in physical science.
