Class 6th chemistry Lesson 3 Matter

Answer the following question in short.


1. Name the temperature at which:
a) A liquid change into a gas.
b) A solid change into a liquid.
Ans.a)100 degree Celsius.
b)0 degree celsius.

2. Name one common substance which can be easily changed from one state to another by
heating or cooling.
Ans. Water is one common substance which can be easily changed from one state to another by
heating or cooling.

3. A liquid can change into gas, either by evaporation or boiling explain the difference between
two process.
Ans. A liquid can be changed into gas either by evaporation or boiling. The difference between
the two process are.
Boiling : The process in which a liquid substance changes into a gas rapidly on heating is called
boiling.
Evaporation: evaporation is a slow process that it involves the change of liquid into Gas state
from the surface.

4. Why do gases show maximum compression?


Ans. A gas show maximum compression because its particles are far apart and there are large
spaces between them . which can be reduced by compression.
5. What is Brownian movement?
Ans. The zigzag movement of particles of matter is called Brownian movement.

6. Write some characteristics properties of liquid.


Ans. Some characteristic properties of liquid are:
1. Liquids have a fixed volume but they have no fixed shape.
2. Liquid take the shape of the vessel.
3. Liquid have moderate to high densities.

7. Liquid generally flow easily. give reason.


Ans. Liquid generally flow easily because its particles are able to slide over one another due to
slightly weaker interparticle force of attraction.

8. Why do solids have fixed volume?


Ans. In solids the particles are closely packed. There is a strong force of attraction between the
particles of a solid which holds them together in fixed positions.

9. Why do gases compress easily?


Ans. A gas can be compressed easily because it particles are far apart and there are large space
between them.
10. What are the effects of heat on matter?
Ans. The effects of heat on matter are:
1. Interconversion of States of matter.
2. Expansion in matter.
3. Chemical changes in matter.

11. Why does matter expand on heating?


Ans. On heating the particles gain energy and move rapidly .The particles of matter starts
moving a part with a gain of energy.

12. What is a chemical change? Also give example .


Ans. Those changes in which new substance are formed are called chemical
changes .Examples : burning of wood or paper.

13. Give an example of Brownian motion in gases from your daily life.
Ans. Sometimes, when a beam of Sunlight enters the room we can see Tiny dust particles
suspended in air which are moving rapidly this is an example of Brownian Movement in gases.

Answer the following questions in detail.


Question 1. Define the following terms:
a) Matter: anything that occupies space and has mass is called matter.
b) Cohesion: the attraction force between the particles of matter is called Cohesion.
c) Melting: the process of change of a solid into liquid on heating is called melting.
d) Freezing: the process of change of a liquid into solid on cooling is called freezing.
e) Condensation: the process of change of a gas into liquid on cooling is called condensation.
f) Boiling: the process of change of a liquid into gas at a fixed temperature is called boiling.
g) Evaporation: the process of change of a liquid into gas at any temperature is called
evaporation.
h) sublimation: the process of conversion of a solid directly into gas on heating is called
sublimation.

Question 2. Differentiate between the following:


a) Solid , liquid and gas.
b) Expansion and contraction
Answer 2.solid:1. Solids have a fixed shape and a fixed volume.
2. Solids cannot be compressed much.
3. Solids have high densities. They are heavy.
4. Solids do not take the shape of the container.
5. Solids do not flow.
Liquid : 1. Liquids have a fixed volume but they have no fixed shape.
2. Liquids take the shape of the vessel in which they are placed.
3. Liquids have moderate to high densities.
4. Like solids liquids cannot be compressed much.
5. Liquids generally flow easily.
Gas: 1. Gases have neither a fixed shape nor a fixed volume.
2. Gases acquire the shape and volume of the vessel in which they are kept.
3. Cases can be compressed easily.
4. Gases have very low densities.
5. Gases flow easily.

Answer 2.b)Expansion: property of matter to increase volume and decrease density on heating
is known as expansion.
Contraction: the process of becoming or of making something become smaller or shorter is
known as contraction.

Question 3. Why do solids liquids and gases have different properties? Explain giving example.
Answer 3. The following properties of particles decide whether a given substance will exist as a
solid ,a liquid or a gas :
1. The spaces between the particles: the spaces between the particles are the minimum in
solids, a little more liquids
and the maximum in gases.
2. The force of attraction between particles: the force of attraction between the particles are the
strongest in solids, lesser strong in liquids and negligible in gases.
3. The amount of movement of particles: the movement of particles is the minimum in solid,
more in liquids and the maximum gases

Question 4. Explain how heat bring about chemical change in a matter ? Explain giving examples.
Answer 4. Chemical change is also one of the effect on matter on heating. During chemical
change if substance undergoes a change in its chemical composition. Burning of candle is one
of the example of chemical change. When we light the candle then the wax present in its start
burning to produce heat and light. The burning of wax also produces carbon dioxide water
vapour and soot which all go into air. We cannot combine all the products of burning of wax to
get back the original candle. Hands burning of candle wax is an example of chemical change.

Question 5. Explain giving example that particles of matter has interparticle space between
them.
Answer 5.Aim: to show the presence of space between the particles of matter.
Material required: a beaker ,pebbles and 75 grams of sugar.
Procedure: 1. Take a beaker and add pebbles in it.
2. 75 grams of sugar into the beginning mix.
3. Observe the level of the content in the beaker.
Observations:1. The level of contents in the beaker remains same.
2. The sugar particles get fit into the spaces between the pebbles.
Inference: the smaller particles of matter occupy spaces between the bigger particles.Here
smaller particles are sugar particles and bigger particles are pebbles.( draw figure 3.5 given on
