Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 5.14 Particle Motion and Temperature (Enrichment) skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Situation: A jar of air is warmed by sunlight. Which statement is most consistent with the particle model of matter?

AAir becomes nonmatter when it is warm.

BSunlight removes all particles from the jar.

CAir particles move slower in sunlight.

DAir particles move faster and may spread farther apart.

Solution & Explanation:Heating a gas increases particle motion and can make the gas expand.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Situation: A cool spoon is placed on a warm pancake. Which statement is most consistent with the particle model of matter?

AThe spoon warms because gravity pulls heat downward.

BThe spoon particles are destroyed by the pancake.

CThermal energy transfers to the spoon and its particles move faster.

DEnergy moves only from the spoon to the pancake because metal is shiny.

Solution & Explanation:Energy moves from the warmer pancake to the cooler spoon, warming the spoon.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Situation: Water boils in a kettle. Which statement is most consistent with the particle model of matter?

AThe kettle changes water into a solid.

BWater particles gain enough energy to become water vapor bubbles.

CThe particles stop moving at the boiling point.

DWater particles become oxygen and disappear.

Solution & Explanation:Boiling happens when many liquid particles gain enough energy to change to gas.
