Class: Ix Chemistry Assignment No: 1

The document is a chemistry assignment for class 9 containing 25 questions about matter and its physical states. Some of the questions ask students to define terms like matter, diffusion, latent heat of fusion, and latent heat of vaporization. Other questions ask students to explain various phenomena like why steam causes more severe burns than water at the same temperature, how evaporation causes cooling, and the factors that affect a substance's ability to change physical states.
