d) Both A and R are true and R is the not the correct explanation of A

2) Assertion (A) – Naphthalene does not leave any residue when kept in open
for some time.
Reason (R): The conversion of solid directly into a gas is condensation.
a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
b) A is false but R is true

space.

b) A is false but R is true
c) A is true but R is false
d) Both A and R are true and R is not the correct explanation of A

4) Match Column I with Column II

Column I Column II
Column I Column II
 A Intermolecular distance is 1 liquid
very less.
B It can freely flow 2 gas
C It is highly compressible 3 Solid

A B C
a) 3 2 1
b) 3 1 2
c) 1 2 3
d) none of these

5) Read the passage and fill in the blanks with suitable options-

When a solid turns into a liquid it is called ____. There is a temperature at

which this happens called the melting point. As the energy in the molecules
increases from a rise in temperature, the molecules start moving ____. Soon
they have enough ___ to break free of their rigid structure and start moving
around more easily. The matter becomes a ____. The melting point of water is
0 degree C (32 degrees F). When the opposite happens and a liquid turns into
a solid, it is called ____.

a) Freezing, melting, faster, energy, liquid

b) Melting, energy, faster, freezing, liquid
c) Melting, faster, freezing, energy, liquid
d) Melting, faster, energy, liquid, freezing.

6) Read the following sentences and choose the correct option (T for true and
F for false).
When a solid changes to a liquid, it is called melting.
Liquids are easy to compress.
When a gas changes into a liquid, it is called condensation.
The particles of a gas are packed tightly together.

a) TFTF
b) FTFT
 c) TTFF
d) FTFT

7) I painted the inner four walls of a box. Then I put an ice block into it such
that it did not touch the walls, but I couldn't do the same when I put water in
that box. Why?

a) Liquid takes the shape of container, so it will always touch the walls of the
box in which you put it.
b) The molecules of liquids are more tightly packed than that of gases.
c) Both (a) and (b)
d) Neither (a) nor (b)

8) Why can't we make statue of water?

A: Liquid can't have its own shape.
B: It is hard to change shape of water like iron.
a) Only A
b) Only B
c) Both A and B
d) Neither A nor B.

9) The difference between boiling and evaporation is-

a) Boiling changes the liquid into a gas but evaporation makes the liquid
disappear.
b) There is no difference between boiling and evaporation as in each case a
liquid is changed into a gas.
c) Boiling occurs at one temperature only and evaporation occurs at different
temperatures.
d) Evaporation occurs at one temperature only and boiling may occur at
different temperatures.

10) Assertion ( A ) : A gas can be easily compressed by applying pressure.

Reason ( R ) : Since the inter-particle spaces in the gaseous state are very
small, they cannot be decreased by applying pressure.
 a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
b) A is false but R is true
c) A is true but R is false
d) Both A and R are true and R is the not the correct explanation of A
