A magnetic F poor conductor of heat D very low melting point
B can be compressed E good conductor of heat H non conductor of electricity
C very high melting point G good conductor of electricity
Write down the letter of the property that answers each of these questions.
(a) Which two properties from the list make aluminium suitable for cooking pans ?
1- ……………………………………………………………..
2- ……………………………………………………………..

(b) Which property from the list explains why a lot of oxygen gas can be pumped into a very
small container ?
…………………………………………………………………………………
(c) Which property from the list explains why plastic makes a good material for the handle of
a kettle ?

……………………………………………………………………..
(d) Which property from the list explains why rubber is used to cover electrical wiring ?

- Activity two :

The diagram shows the particle arrangement in a liquid.

(a) Draw the particle arrangement in a solid.

(b) Angelique puts five drops of a liquid perfume on the back of her hand. A few seconds later
Angelique can smell the perfume. This is because the perfume diffuses into her nose.
(i) Complete the sentence about diffusion.
In diffusion the perfume moves from an area of ………………………………….
concentration to an area of ………………………………………… concentration.
(ii) Explain, using the particle theory of matter, how diffusion takes place.

- Activity three :
Rocks in the Earth’s crust are classified by the way that they are formed.
Complete the sentences about rock formation.
Choose words from the list.
Each word can be used once, more than once or not at all.
igneous metamorphic sedimentary
(a) …………………………… rocks are formed when molten lava from a volcano cools down.
(b)……………………………. rocks are made from grains of rock that are cemented (stuck) together.
(c)…………………………….. rocks are made when heat and pressure change other types of rock.
(d)…………………………….. rocks are found in layers and often contain fossils.
- Activity four :
Safia investigates the reaction between magnesium ribbon and dilute sulfuric acid.
In each experiment Safia uses 25 cm3 of sulfuric acid.
She records the temperature of the acid and then adds some magnesium ribbon.

When the magnesium has finished reacting she records the temperature of the acid again.
Safia does this experiment six times.
Each time she uses a different length of magnesium ribbon.
Look at Safia’s results.

Safia then calculates the temperature change for each reaction.

(a) Put her results, including the temperature changes, into a table.
(b) One set of readings is an anomalous result.
Which set?
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
(c) The reaction between magnesium and sulfuric acid releases energy.
What is the name given to a reaction that releases energy?
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

-Activity five : Complete the table by deciding if the information indicates that the element
is a metal or a non-metal

- Activity six : Look at the table.

It shows the melting points and boiling points of some elements.

Use the table to answer these questions

(a) Write down the name of the element that melts at 1538°C.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
(b)Which element is a liquid at room temperature (20°C) ?
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
(c) Which element is a non-metal ?
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

- Activity seven :
Hydrogen peroxide is used to make oxygen in the laboratory.
Hydrogen peroxide breaks down to form water and oxygen.
(a) This reaction is much faster when a chemical called manganese(IV) oxide is added to the
hydrogen peroxide.
The manganese(IV) oxide is unchanged at the end of the reaction.
What type of chemical is manganese(IV) oxide?
Tick () the correct answer

(b)Blessy investigates the effect of temperature on the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide.

(i) Write down the variable she should change.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
(ii)Write down one variable she should control (keep the same).
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

- Activity eight : Some metal railings have started to rust.

(a) Which metal were the railings made of?

Circle the correct answer.
aluminium copper iron lead

(b) Which two substances must be present for the railings to rust?
Circle the two correct answers.
 carbon dioxide hydrogen nitrogen oxygen water

(c) How can you prevent railings from rusting ?
