Through which state of matter does sound travel the slowest?
a) through solids because the particles are packed tightly together
b) through air because the particles are spread very far apart and moving very fast
c) through liquid because the particles are slightly spread apart and moving very slow
d) through plasma because the particles are electrically charged.

How does sound usually travel?
a) An object vibrates and those vibrations travel through the air in one direction as transverse waves.
b) An object vibrates and those vibrations carry air in one direction as longtudinal waves.
c) An object vibrates and those vibrations carry air in all directions as transverse waves.
d) An object vibrates and those vibrations travel through the air in all directions as longitudinal waves.

How are gases different from liquids and solids?
a) They have no definite shape or volume.
b) They have a definite shape and volume
c) Their particles are much slower.
d) Their particles do not move at all.

What is the best way for a scientist to determine that two substances are made of the same element?
a) They have the same mass
b) They have the same volume
c) They are the same color.
d) They exist in the same state of matter

How is a chemical change different from a physical change?
a) A chemical change produces a new substance
b) A physical change produces a new substance
c) A chemical change occurs only when the mass changes.
d) A physical change occurs only when there is a color change

What does heat energy measure?
a) The disorderly motion of molecules
b) The orderly motion of molecules
c) the amount of mass in an object
d) The density of an object

How does an unconstrained gas contrast with a constrained gas?
a) its particles do not move.
b) it stays in one place.
c) It spreads out indefinitely
d) Its particles are much slower

Why do the atoms of solids vibrate?
a) Because they attract cold air
b) Because solids have no definite shape
c) Because they do not have thermal energy

c) An organized chart of more than 100 pure substances that can be broken down by chemical means
d) An organized chart of less than 100 pure substances that can not be broken down by chemical means

What is an atom?
a) Two or more molecules joined together
b) The smallest part of an element that still has the chemical properties of that element
c) The smallest part of an element that still has the physical properties of that element
d) The smallest part of an element that does not have the chemical or physical properties of that element.
