Question No: 1 – Among them which are matter?

Chair, air, love, smell, hate, almonds, thought, cold, cold-drink, smell of perfume.

Answer: - Chair, air, almonds, and cold-drink are matters.

Matter: The physical quantities which has mass and occupied space is called matter.

Question No: 2 - The smell of hot sizzling food reaches you several meters away, but to get the smell from cold food you have to go close. Why this happen explain?

Answer: Smell of anything which reaches to us is the particles of gases which diffuse through air. This diffusion increases with increase in temperature as the kinetic energy of particles increases with temperature. For this reason, the smell of sizzling food reaches us from several feet.
But in case of cold food, the particles have low kinetic energy because of low temperature and diffuse in smaller extent.


Question No: 3 - A diver is able to cut through water in a swimming pool. Explain the reason with the help of molecular theory.

Answer: All the particles of matter have space between them. Water also a matter (fluid). In case of fluids, the space between particles is large enough and the intermolecular force is less then solids. As a result it becomes easier for a diver to cut through water in a swimming pool.

Question No: 4 – Write four characteristics of the particles of matter?

Answer :- The four characteristics of the particles of matter are -

    (i) The particles of matter are very small.
   (ii) There is space between the particles of matter.
    (iii) The particles of matter are moving constantly and possess kinetic energy.
   (iv) The particles are attract each other with a force.
