Sample exercises

Grades 4–7 · General chemistry

When pure ice melts, which identity stays the same?

  1. The molecules disappear.
  2. The water molecules remain water.
  3. The molecules become hydrogen gas.
Answer and explanation

The water molecules remain water.

Melting changes the physical state of water, not its molecular identity.

Grades 4–7 · General chemistry

Which sample normally fills the entire available container?

  1. A liquid of insufficient volume.
  2. A gas.
  3. A rigid solid.
Answer and explanation

A gas.

Gas particles spread throughout the available space.

Grades 4–7 · General chemistry

Why can a gas be compressed much more than a liquid?

  1. Its particles are generally much farther apart.
  2. Each particle is hollow.
  3. Its particles vanish under pressure.
Answer and explanation

Its particles are generally much farther apart.

Compression mainly decreases the separations between gas particles.

Grades 4–7 · General chemistry

Correct this claim: heating makes each molecule swell to explain every expansion.

Answer and explanation

Heating usually increases particle motion and can increase average separation; molecules are not simply inflated balls.

A response should distinguish particle size from separation.

Grades 4–7 · General chemistry

Which change is physical for pure water?

  1. Reaction with a metal.
  2. Decomposition into hydrogen and oxygen.
  3. Freezing.
Answer and explanation

Freezing.

Freezing changes state while retaining water as the substance.

Grades 4–7 · General chemistry

Why should a particle drawing include a key?

Answer and explanation

The key explains what its shapes and colors represent.

Credit the model meaning, not claims that all atoms have those literal colors.
