This document contains a 3rd quarter summative science test with 30 multiple choice questions covering concepts about the states of matter, including their properties and the phase changes between solids, liquids, and gases. It also covers topics like the periodic table, matter, and physical and chemical properties of elements.

1. 3rd Quarter
Summative
Test in Science

2. For questions 1-15, identify if
the statement is a property
of a solid, liquid or gas.
Shade letter A for solid, B for
liquid, C for gases & D for
none of the choices given.

3. 1. Have definite shapes and volume
because the particles are packed
closely together in fixed positions.
2. Take the shapes of the container
because the particles are able to move
freely to all parts of the container.

4. 3. The particles are closer to one
another, nudging or touching one
another as they move.
4. The particles cannot move around.
5. The particles are attracted to one
another more strongly than the particles
of gases.

5. 6. The particles move at random
directions very quickly and travel
in straight-line paths.
7. It has definite volume but has
no definite shape. It takes the
shape of its container.

6. 8. It spreads out and takes the
shape of the container.
9. Can flow out of a container
and can be poured into another
while maintaining their volume.

7. 10. It is compressible or the
volume can be reduced.
11. The attraction between
particles is negligible because of
the large distance between the
particles.
12. The particles can move freely in
random directions.

C. greater than 60ml
D. none of them

12. 17. Why is the attraction between particles
of gases negligible?

wherein the gas is changed into
a liquid phase?

17. 22. Which of the following explains what will
happen to the molecules when the water is
heated and the temperature of water rises?
a. The molecules gain more potential energy
and they rest.
b. The molecules lose less kinetic energy and
they move faster.
c. The molecules gain more kinetic energy and
they move faster.
d. None of the above.

18. 23. What process is called in
which a liquid is changed to a
solid state?
a. Evaporation
b. Condensation
c. Freezing
d. Melting

19. 24. It is the reverse process of
freezing. It happens when solid
changes into a liquid state.
a. Evaporation
b. Condensation
c. Freezing
d. Melting

20. 25. What happens to the water particles when
ice melts?
a. It gains energy and begins to move closer.
b. It gains energy and begins to move apart.
