TEST I. MULTIPLE CHOICE. Write the CAPITAL LETTER of your answer on the
blank provided before each number.
________1. Which among the choices is/are not sample/s of matter?
A. Sugar granules
B. water
C. heat
D. smoke
________2. Which among the choices is/are not sample/s of matter?
A. stone
B. air inside ball
C. leaves
D. light
________3. It is the measure of the space occupied by an object.
A. Volume
B. mass
C. temperature
D. space
________4. All matter have mass and volume.
A. True
B. False
C. maybe
D. none of the choices
_______5. Which among the choices are properties of matter?
A. Hardness
B. electrical conductivity C. color
D. all of the choices
______6. What is the rationale why you can compress the air inside the syringe?
A. Air being a gas can be compressed because there are large spaces between the
particles, so the particles can be made to come closer to each other.
B. Gas being an air can be compressed because there are large spaces between the
particles, so the particles can be made to come closer to each other.
C. Air being a gas can be compressed because there are narrow spaces between the
particles, so the particles can be made to come closer to each other.
D. None of the choices
For items number 7-8

Figure 2. The particle view of a gas

______7. Why gasses would take the shape of a container?
A. particles are able to move freely to all parts of the container.
B. They move freely because they are far apart and there is negligible attraction
between them.
C. Neither A nor B
D. Both A and B
______8.Why are gasses compressible?
A. The distances between particles are large and so there is room for the
particles to move closer to each other.
B. The distances between particles are narrow and so there is no room for the
particles to move closer to each other.
C. Either A or B
D. Neither A nor B

_______9. What do you call the transformation process in which a solid is changed to
a liquid?
A. Evaporation
C. melting
B. Condensation
D. Freezing
_______10. What do you call the transformation process in which liquid is changed to
a solid?
A. Evaporation
C. melting
B. Condensation
D. Freezing
TEST II. TRUE or FALSE. Write true if the statement is correct and false if
its not. Write your answer on the space provided before each number.(2
points each).
__________1. Ice from a freezer is at a greater temperature than the surrounding
room temperature so melting happens.
__________2. Some of the heat energy from the surroundings is transferred to the
water molecules in the ice so freezing happens.
__________3.Solids have definite shapes and indefinite volume.
__________4.Gas that escapes up to the air has higher kinetic energy, than those
left inside the beaker.
_________5. Evaporation is a cooling process.
_________6. As the acetone and rubbing alcohol evaporate, the molecules get heat
energy from your body leaving you with a cool sensation.
_________7. In a closed container, the molecules of water continue to evaporate
and condense.
_________8.Condensation is responsible for ground-level fog that we see on some
cold days.
_________9. When a gas is cooled, the motion of particles speeds up.
________10. Gas spreads because the attraction between them is negligible.
________11. Gas particles move at random directions very quickly and travel in
straight line paths.
_______12.Gas particles only change direction only when they rebound from the
collisions.
_______13. Liquids can be poured into another container by maintaining its volume,
because theres no attraction between its particles.
_______14.Particles of matter are moving all the time.
_______15.The particles of matter attract each other.
TEST III. Draw the following situations and write a brief description for
each.
1. Before and after gasses molecules are compressed.
2. Before and after liquid molecules evaporated inside a covered container.
