~ Ba~ed Questions
Rtad rhe following paragraph and answer the questions by choosing the correct option.
The vv'ord matter refers to everything in the universe that has mass and takes up space. States of
mat!(:r an~ normally described on the basis of qualities that can be seen or felt. Matter that feels hard
and maintain~ a fixed shape is called a solid. The matter that feels wet and maintains its volume but
nor its shape is called a liquid. But the gas can change both shape and volume.
The same clement, compound or solution (mixture) can behave very differently depending upon
ih state of matter. As for example, solid water (ice) feels hard and cold while liquid water is wet and
mobile.
A solid has a definite shape and volume because the molecules that make up the solid are packed
closely together and move slowly. But a liquid has a definite volume but takes the shape of container
11hilc a gas has neither a definite volume nor a definite shape. Some gases can be seen and felt while
othm are intangible for human beings.
6. The matter that feels hard and maintains a fixed shape is called a
(a) solid (h) liquid (c) gas (d) plasma
7. The matter that feels wet and maintains its volume but not its shape is called a
(a) Solid (b) liquid (c) gas (d) plasma

Reason (R) : The molecules in a solid are not free to change their positions.
ll. Assertion (A) : In case of liquid, molecules cannot move apart.
Reason (R) : Liquid can flow and need a container to hold it.
12. Assertion (A) : Gases cannot easily compressed.
Reason (R) : Gases has negligible intermolecular force.
13. Assertion (A) : Solids can have any number of free surfaces.
Reason (R) : Liquids have only one free surface.
