MATTER IN OUR SURROUNDINGS 12\01\2018

1.State the dynamics of particles inside a matter. What can you say about the kinetic energy
of these particles?How this kinetic energy is related with temperature?What is the maximum
kinetic energy that can be achieved by these particles?
2.What is the name of the phenomenon of intermixing of particles of two different types of
matter?
What will happen to "this" phenomenon if we increase the temperature of the system?
3.We can get the smell of perfume sitting several meters away, why?
4.What does keep the particles together?Is the strength of "this" same for all kind of matter?
5.Sponge is a solid, yet we are able to compress it. Why ?
6.Arrange the following substances in the increasing order of forces of attraction between
the particles water, sugar and oxygen.
7.What is the fundamental difference between different states of matter?
8.What is the force that helps a spring to come back to its original length?Can it always
come back to its original length?Explain from particle point of view.
9.What is the physical state of water at :(a) 25°C (b) 0°C (c) 100°C.State the arrangement of
particles in this three different condition.
10.Why liquid and gas have no fixed shape whereas solid has?(Hint:Force of attraction)
OR Why solids are difficult to break?
11.Why the rate of diffusion is higher in liquid than in solid?
12.Wood and Iron both are solid but,wood becomes heavier after sinking into water and iron
remains same.Why?
13.What is the use of Compressed Natural Gas(CNG)?What is the best property of this gas?
14.In which state,particles of matter acquire maximum speed?Why?
15.According to Boyle's law,pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to the volume it
occupies.Explain it from its particle point of view.
16.Arrange the following in order of increasing density – air, exhaust from chimneys,
honey, water, chalk, cotton and iron.Explain the reason for your choice.
17.Why ice floats on water in contrast to the general fact that solid has higher density than
its liquid state?
18.All the particles follow a pattern of their vibration in the solid state.How this vibration
changes inside a solid with rise in temperature?What happens to this vibration for liquid and
gas?
19.What does the melting point of solid indicate?(use only Particle property)
20.When a solid melts, its temperature remains the same, so where does the heat energy go?
21.What is latent heat of vaporisation?Define sublimation.Write down the factors that effect
evaporation.
22.Why do you always observe bubbles only on the sides of glass beaker ?
23.What is Plasma?Is it a good conductor of electricity.If yes,why?
24.When the Bose-Einstein condensate can be achieved in a matter?Define condensation.
25.Which is the slow process, evaporation or boiling?Why?
26.State the properties of all the five states of matter.
