Q4.Give one difference between each.
a) Physical and chemical change

Physical Change Chemical Change

It is a temporary change. It is a permanent change
It can be reversed. It cannot be reversed.
No new substance is formed. A new substance is formed.

Eg- E.g-
• Melting of wax • Cooking of food
• Water changing into • Burning of paper
water vapour on • Rusting of iron

b)Solid state of matter and Gas state of matter

Solid Gas
It has a fixed shape. It has no fixed shape.
It has a fixed volume’ It has no fixed volume.
Its molecules are closely packed . Its molecules are very loosely
packed.
.
It can not flow. It can spread easily in all directions.
c)Miscible and immiscible liquids

Miscible Liquids Immiscible liquids

Liquids that dissolve in water. Liquids that do not dissolve in
water.

For e.g- milk,alcohol,glycerine for eg- oil,petrol,kerosene

Q5. Give reasons

a) Most solids expand on heating.
-because their molecules become loosely packed.
b) Melting wax is a chemical change while burning wax is a chemical
change.
• Melting wax is a physical change because no new substance is
formed.
• Burning wax is a chemical change because new substance is
formed.
c) Gas can largely compress.
-because its molecules are very loosely packed.
d) Bubbles come out when we open the bottle of soda.
-because it has dissolved carbon dioxide which come out in the
form of bubbles.

e) The aroma of food being cooked in the kitchen spread in the whole house.
– because the molecules of the vapour of food mix with the air and
spread in the whole house.
f) Water is known as universal solvent.
-because it can dissolve many substances in it.
Q5. Label the given diagra
 A) Melting B) Evaporation
C) Condensation D) Freezing

Q6. Look and answer the following questions

a) Which state of the matter is it?

Liquid
b) Does it have a fixed shape? Give reason for your answer.
It does not have a fixed shape because its molecules are loosely packed.
c) Give two examples of it.
Milk, petrol
Q7. What happens
a) When a liquid is cooled?
-then its molecules lose energy and become closely packed and change
into solid.
b) When a solid is heated?
-then its molecules gain energy and become loosely packed and change into
liquid.
Q8. Categorize the following into miscible and immiscible liquids.
Petrol, oil, glycerine, kerosene, alcohol, milk, diesel
Miscible liquid Immiscible liquid
glycerine Petrol
alcohol oil
Milk Kerosene
- diesel
