Particles in gases move faster than in liquids
Particles in gases move freely at low speeds.
False
Particles in liquids do not move around freely.
False
Heating an object decreases the energy of its particles.
False
Particles in solids have more energy compared to particles in liquids.
False
Particles in gases have less energy compared to particles in solids.
True
Study Notes
States of Matter
- Matter is made up of tiny particles that are always in motion.
- These particles can move slowly or quickly.
Solids
- Particles in solids have less energy.
- Particles in solids do not move around freely, but are confined to a specific space within the container.
Liquids
- Particles in liquids have relatively more energy.
- Particles in liquids move freely within the container.
Gases
- Particles in gases have much more energy.
- Particles in gases move freely at high speeds.
Energy and Temperature
- Heating an object increases the energy of its particles.
- Cooling an object decreases the energy of its particles.
- Changes in the energy of particles result in changes in the movement of the object.
This quiz focuses on introducing the theme of states of matter and kinetic theory to students, building on their previous learning in classes VI and VII. It covers the concept that all matter is made of tiny particles that are always in motion, with different energy levels depending on the state of matter.
