Answer each question to the best of your ability, using full sentences and make sure to include detail in your responses.

 

1.   What are the three states of matter commonly found on Earth, and what are TWO of their properties?

 

State #1:Solid	State #2:Liquid	State #3:Gas
Property #1:Solids are rigid, some are also sharp	Property #1: Liquid flows easily and takes the shape of its container	Property #1:Gas atoms can move freely and are contained in a metal container so it doesn’t explode
Property #2:Solids can be hard or soft.	Property #2:Liquids have a definite volume but not a definite mass.	Property #2:Gasses have no definite vollume or mass

 

2. What is the fourth state of matter called?

1. 1. Electrons
   2. Particles

• Plasma

1. Laser

 

3. What happens to the speed of molecules when the temperature increases?

• They move quicker

1. They move slower
2. They move at the same speed
3. They explode.

 

4. Explain what happens to the molecules in a liquid when they are cooled down to their freezing point.

 

They stop moving as much and they become a solid

 

5. Explain what happens to the molecules in a liquid when they are heated to their boiling point.

 

They liquid starts to evaporate and turn into gas

 

6. What could be the reason for the fact that gases can be compressed more easily than solids or liquids?

 

The reason could be because the atoms in a gas can move freely and because of that they can then be compressed easily.
