100

What happens to particle motion when temperature increases?

Particles move faster because they gain energy.

100

Give one example of a physical change.

Ice melting

Cutting paper, veggies, or other food

teacher determines points!

100

What is the formula for density?

Density = Mass ÷ Volume.

100

Give an example of a physical property

 Color, melting point, boiling point, mass, volume,

point determined by teacher

200

Which state of matter has particles that vibrate in place?

Solid.

200

Proof that a physical change has happened

Change is size, shape, or state (appearance). No changes to substance

200

A block sinks in water. What does this tell you about its density?

It is greater than 1 g/cm³ (density of water)

200

Which physical property is size-dependent: mass or density?

Mass

300

What two factors determine whether a substance is solid, liquid, or gas?

Attractive forces and kinetic energy

300

Which observation is always evidence of a chemical change?

Formation of a new substance.

300

If an object has a mass of 200 g and a volume of 100 cm³, what is its density?

 2 g/cm³.

300

Why can density be used to identify a substance?

It is size-independent and unique for each substance.

400

Why does ice melt when heat is added?

Heat increases particle motion, breaking bonds.

400

Why is rusting a chemical change?

Iron changes into iron oxide, a new substance.

400

Which property is size-independent: density or volume?

Density

400

What is the boiling point of pure water under standard conditions?

100°C or 212°F

500

Explain why gases expand to fill their container.

Gas particles move freely and spread out due to weak attractive forces.

500

Name two signs that a chemical change might have occurred.

Color change, gas production, temperature change, light and/or sound produced

500

Why does oil float on water?

Oil has a lower density than water.

500

Name two size-independent properties.

Density, boiling point, odor, color, melting point
