Kinetic Particle Theory of Matter starts at 7 and continues till grade 12.
QuestionsToday has an evolving set of questions to continuously challenge students so that their knowledge grows in Kinetic Particle Theory of Matter.
How you perform is determined by your score and the time you take.
When you play a quiz, your answers are evaluated in concept instead of actual words and definitions used.
See sample questions for grade 10
A balloon filled with air is placed in a freezer. What happens to the volume of the balloon and why?
A gas is compressed in a cylinder. What happens to the distance between the particles?
A student places a crystal of potassium permanganate in water and observes the color spreading throughout the water. What does this demonstrate about the movement of particles?
Describe how the arrangement and movement of particles differ between solids, liquids, and gases.

(1) All matter is made up of tiny particles in constant motion.
(2) All matter is made up of large, stationary particles.
(3) All matter is made up of particles that only vibrate.
(4) All matter is made up of particles that do not move.

Fill in the blank: The change of state from gas to liquid is called __________.
Fill in the blank: The energy that particles possess due to their motion is called __________ energy.
Fill in the blank: The process by which a gas changes directly into a solid is called __________.
Fill in the blank: The process by which a liquid changes into a gas at a temperature below its boiling point is called __________.
True or False: Diffusion occurs faster in gases than in liquids.
True or False: In solids, the particles are closely packed and can only vibrate in fixed positions.
True or False: In the gaseous state, the forces of attraction between particles are very weak.
True or False: Liquids can be compressed easily because their particles are far apart.
