Questions Related to properties of solids, liquid, and gas

In an ionic solid, ${B}^{x-}$ ions constitute a ccp lattice, if ${A}^{y+}$ ion occupy $25$% of the tetrahedral voids, the possible ions in the solid are:

chemistry matter in our surroundings diffusion in different states of matter properties of solids, liquid, and gas particle theory of matter

  1. ${A}^{+}$ and ${B}^{-}$

  2. ${A}^{2+}$ and ${B}^{4-}$

  3. ${A}^{2+}$ and ${B}^{-}$

  4. ${A}^{4+}$ and ${B}^{-}$

Show answer
Correct Option: C

Which of the following is not the state of matter?

chemistry matter in our surroundings diffusion in different states of matter properties of solids, liquid, and gas particle theory of matter

  1. Solid

  2. Liquid

  3. Gas

  4. Vapour

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Matter has three main state of matter that is solid, liquid and gas. Vapour is the type of substance which forms when liquid converts into the gaseous phase. It is a matter but not a state of matter.

Among the three states of matter which has highly fluid nature?

chemistry matter in our surroundings diffusion in different states of matter properties of solids, liquid, and gas particle theory of matter

  1. Solid

  2. Liquid

  3. Both $(A)$ and $(B)$

  4. Gas

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The inter-molecular force of attraction is very weak in case of gases. So, gases are highly fluid in nature.


Hence, the correct option is $D$.


Compressibility is minimum in case of :

chemistry matter in our surroundings diffusion in different states of matter properties of solids, liquid, and gas particle theory of matter

  1. solid.

  2. liquid.

  3. both (a) and (b).

  4. gas.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

In case of solid the inter-molecular force of attraction is very strong and inter-particle spaces are very small. So, it is very difficult to compress the solid.


Hence, the correct option is $A$.

Which of the following states of matter have highest force of attraction between particles?

chemistry matter in our surroundings diffusion in different states of matter properties of solids, liquid, and gas particle theory of matter

  1. Solids

  2. Liquids

  3. Gases

  4. All of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Solids have highest force of attraction between particles. The molecules are very tightly packed.


So, the correct option is $A$

Which of the following states of matter exerts pressure on the walls of the container?

chemistry matter in our surroundings diffusion in different states of matter properties of solids, liquid, and gas particle theory of matter

  1. Solids

  2. Liquids

  3. Gases

  4. All of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Among all the states of matter, gases exert pressure in all directions. Liquids and solids exert pressure along the gravity (generally).


Because of negligible force of attraction between particles of gas, the particles of gas have the highest kinetic energy.

On absorption of heat, the temperature:

chemistry matter in our surroundings diffusion in different states of matter properties of solids, liquid, and gas particle theory of matter

  1. Increases

  2. Decreases

  3. Does not change

  4. None of above

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

When an object absorbs heat the temperature of the object increases. For eg; on boiling water the temperature of water increases and vaporizes.

The miscibility property is maximum in which states of matter?

chemistry matter in our surroundings diffusion in different states of matter properties of solids, liquid, and gas particle theory of matter

  1. Solids

  2. Liquids

  3. Gases

  4. Both A and B

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Gases are highly miscible as the molecules are loosely bounded and can easily mix with each other.


Hence, the correct option is $C$.

Liquids and gases ....................... on heating.

chemistry matter in our surroundings diffusion in different states of matter properties of solids, liquid, and gas particle theory of matter

  1. contract

  2. expand

  3. melt

  4. none of above

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Liquids and gases expand when they are heated. This is because the particles in liquids and gases move faster when they are heated than they do when they are cold. As a result, the particles take up more volume. This is because the gap between particles widens, while the particles themselves stay the same size.

Which of the following is a type of latent heat?

chemistry matter in our surroundings diffusion in different states of matter properties of solids, liquid, and gas particle theory of matter

  1. Latent heat of fusion

  2. Latent heat of vaporization

  3. Both a and b

  4. None of above

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The latent heat is used in change of states of matter, such as from solid to liquid or from liquid to gas without rising in temperature. When solid changes into liquid, the heat required for changing the state without rise in temperature is called the Latent Heat of Fusion. When liquid changes into gas because of rise in temperature, the heat required changing the state without rising in temperature is called the Latent Heat of vaporization.
