Which of the following gas is used in vehicles?

  1. L.P.G

  2. C.N.G

  3. Nitrogen

  4. Nitrogen dioxide


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Compressed natural gas is used in vehicles and is a cheap source of fuel.

The kinetic energy of particles is maximum in __________.

  1. gas

  2. liquid

  3. solid

  4. Same in all the states


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The kinetic energy of particles is maximum in gas as the particles are free to roam with maximum speed as there is negligible force of attraction between the particle.


Hence the option A is correct.

The gas which is used for cooking at our home is _____________.

  1. Oxygen

  2. Nitrogen

  3. L.P.G ( liquefied petroleum gas ) 

  4. C.N.G ( compressed natural gas )


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Liquefied petroleum gas is used for cooking food at the homes.


Hence the option C is correct.

Thermal conduction takes place in ___________.

  1. solid, liquid

  2. liquid, gas

  3. gas, solid

  4. solid, liquid, gas


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Thermal conduction takes place in all the states of matter as the energy is transferred through particles so transfer of heat takes place.

The three phases of water (Solid, Liquid, Gas) are:

  1. ice, water, steam

  2. water, ice, steam

  3. steam, ice, water

  4. steam, water, ice


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The three phases of water are ice (present in solid state),  water (present in liquid state) and steam (present in the gaseous state).

Which among the following is solid at room temperature?

  1. Oxygen

  2. Mercury

  3. Potassium permanganate

  4. Nitrogen


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Oxygen and nitrogen are gases, bromine is liquid at room temperature. So $KMnO _4$ is solid at room temperature.

Particles move randomly in _____________.

  1. nitrogen

  2. sugar

  3. ice

  4. water


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Particles move randomly in a gaseous state. Here nitrogen is the only substance which is in a gaseous state.

Which of the following has the highest density?

  1. Kerosene

  2. Water

  3. Iron

  4. Wood


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Iron has the highest density as the particles are closely packed and volume occupied is less which makes the density very high.

Arrange the following objects in the order of the intermolecular force of attraction.


( Oxygen, Sugar, Water )

  1. Oxygen > Water > Sugar

  2. Sugar > Water > Oxygen

  3. Water > Sugar > Oxygen

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The general order of force of attraction is Solid > Liquid > Gas. 


Therefore, the order is Sugar > Water > Oxygen.

A state of matter is characterized by _________.

  1. temprature

  2. pressure

  3. phase transition

  4. none of above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A state of matter is also characterized by phase transitions. A phase transition indicates a change in structure and can be recognized by an abrupt change in properties. A distinct state of matter can be defined as any set of states distinguished from any other set of states by a phase transition.

Gases and liquids both ____________.

  1. can be compressed

  2. have a definite shape

  3. cannot be compressed

  4. have an indefinite shape

  5. have a definite volume


Correct Option: A,D

Select the correct answer from the choices given below. The three states of matter are classified on the basis of differences of certain _________.

  1. chemical properties

  2. physical properties

  3. physical and chemical properties

  4. none of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The three states of matter are classified on the basis of differences of certain physical properties such as physical existence; solids are physically hard, they have fixed shape and size. Liquids do not have any fixed shape and size, they changed according to the shape of beakers in which they are placed. Gases do not have a fixed shape or volume.

The decreasing order of diffusion is ___________.

  1. Gas > Solid > liquid

  2. Liquid > Gas > Solid

  3. Solid > Liquid > Gas

  4. Gas > Liquid > Solid


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The spaces between the particles of gas are more so they can mix into each other very easily. 

Solid has the least intermolecular space, therefore, it is very difficult to mix with another solid. 
On the other hand, liquids have some diffusion ability.

So, the correct option is $D$

Which of the following states of matter are called fluids?

  1. Solid, Gas

  2. Solid, Liquid

  3. Liquid, Gas

  4. Solid, Liquid, Gas


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Fluids are the substances that can flow easily so gas and liquid are the states which flow easily.

Arrange the following substances in increasing order of forces of attraction.

  1. Oxygen, water, sugar

  2. Sugar, water, oxygen

  3. Water, sugar, oxygen

  4. Sugar, oxygen, water


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The forces of attraction are strongest in solids, followed by liquids and the weakest in gases.oxygen is a gas, water is a liquid and sugar is a crystalline solid. 


So the increasing order of forces of attraction is oxygen $<$ water $<$sugar.

So, the correct option is $A$
