100

Are the atoms in solids tightly or loosely packed 

tightly packed 

100

When something floats does it go above or below another substance 

above

What is more dense a feather or a brick 

A brick

200

In which state do the atoms have the most energy 

Gas

200

What happens to the particles when you heat a solid 

They start to get more energy/ vibrate more and some solids expand. For example metal.  

200

What is denser water or honey 

honey 

200

What is density? 

Density is how many particles are packed into an object. 

200

What will happen if you heat the gas in a balloon

The particles will get more energy and push harder on the ballon making it expand. 

300

Which state are the molecules moderately close?

Liquid

300

Can solids and liquids be compressed? 

no

300

If water has the density of 1g/cm3 and oil has the density of 0.9g/cmwhich will float 

The oil will float as it is lighter or is less dense. 

300

how do you calculate density?

divide the mass by its volume 

400

What are the particles called?

Molecules

400

Do solids take the shape of their container 

no they maintain their shape 

400

what is the density of an object if its weight is 10g and its volume is 5 cm3

2g/cm3

400

How do you calculate Mass?

Density times Multiply

500

Name the process where a gas turns into a liquid 

Condensation 

500

what are more dense liquids or solids? 

Solids- particles are closer together 

500

How do you calculate Volume?

D/M

500

What is the process in which a solid turns in to a gas 

Sublimation - remember the dry ice!
