In which of the following are the particles vibrate about their mean position?

  1. Iron

  2. Water vapour

  3. Perfume

  4. Acid


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Being a solid, iron has its particles vibrating about their mean position.

Which of the following is responsible for definite shape of an iron ball?

  1. Strong forces of attraction between molecules of iron ball

  2. Large distance between the molecules of iron ball

  3. High speed of molecules of iron ball

  4. Random motion of molecules of iron ball


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Iron ball is a solid, and its specific shape is because of strong forces of attraction between its molecules.

Dry ice at room temperature is converted into gas directly. What is this process called?

  1. Melting

  2. Vaporisation

  3. Condensation

  4. Sublimation


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Dry ice is converted into gas directly at room temperature by a process called sublimation.

In which process is heat energy transformed into potential energy?

  1. Freezing

  2. Cooling

  3. Melting

  4. Boiling


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Heat energy is provided during melting that transforms into potential energy.

How is the force of attraction between the particles of a liquid affected during evaporation process?

  1. The force of attraction remains unchanged.

  2. The force of attraction increases.

  3. The force of attraction decreases.

  4. The force of attraction first increases and then decreases.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

During evaporation, the force of attraction between the particles of a liquid decreases and the liquid is converted into gas.

Which of the following is a gas at room temperature?

  1. Water

  2. Dry ice

  3. Copper

  4. Alcohol

  2. Boiling

  3. Sublimation

  4. Vapourisation


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Only sublimation can occur in absence of heat. For example, dry ice sublimes at room temperature.

What makes water to take the shape of the container in which it is poured?

  1. Weak forces of attraction between molecules

  2. Vibration of particles about their mean position

  3. Arrangement of particles in a definite manner

  4. Absence of space between particles


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Water does not have definite shape due to weak forces of attraction between its molecules.

Which of the following has the weakest intermolecular forces between its particles?

  1. Gel

  2. Water

  3. Carbon dioxide

  4. Glass


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Carbon dioxide (gas) has the weakest intermolecular forces between its particles.

Fragrance of perfume spreads rapidly in a room. What is the reason behind this phenomenon?

  1. High kinetic energy of particles of vapour

  2. Strong force of attraction among particles

  3. Large number of particles

  4. Lack of definite shape of gas particles


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Gases diffuse very fast into other gases due to high speed of particles and large space between them. Thus, fragrance of perfume spreads rapidly in room.

Which of the following does not have definite shape and volume?

  1. Mercury

  2. Methane

  3. Milk
