Kinetic Molecular Theory

Test Description: KMT and States of Matter Basics

Instructions: Answer all questions to get your test result.

1) Why can liquids not be compressed easily?

AThe particles are arranged in a fixed position BThe particles are too close together to be squished any closer CThe particles are free to move and simply move away from each other when we try to squish them

2) Why do solids have a fixed shape?

AThe particles can slide past each other but not move far enough to change shape BThe particles are too far apart CThe particles don't have enough energy to move out of position

3) In which state of matter is there the most space between particles?

ASolid BGas CLiquid

4) In which state of matter do the particles have the most kinetic energy?

ASolid BGas CLiquid

5) In which state of matter do the particles have enough energy to fill a container?

ASolid BLiquid CGas

6) In which state of matter do the particles have only enough energy to vibrate without moving out of place?

ALiquid BSolid CGas

7) In which state of matter do the particles have enough energy to flow past each other allowing them to take the shape of the container they are in?

ALiquid BSolid CGas

8) Which statement correctly describes the spacing of BOTH solids and liquids?

ALiquid particles are a bit further apart than solid particles BLiquid particles are as tightly packed as solid particles are CLiquid particles are much farther apart than solid particles

9) In which state of matter do the particles have the least amount of kinetic energy?

ASolid BGas CLiquid

10) In which two states of matter do the particles have enough energy to flow?

ALiquid and gas BSolid and liquid CSolid and gas
