i. Pencil is rigid
ii. It has definite shape and volume.
iii. It occupies a fixed space.
2. A highly unusual object is created when a large amount of matter
collapses down into a very small space, for instance when a star
collapses under its own gravity because it has used up most of its
fuel. Once this object is created, its gravity is so strong that other
objects nearby are sucked into it and even light cannot escape from
it. What are these attractive objects usually called?
Black holes
3. Na is the element sodium, a highly explosive metal. Cl is the element

chlorine, a deadly poisonous, yellow-green gas. But when we put

Table salt
4. Matter can change from one state to another when you heat or cool
it. At which temperatures does pure water change from solid (ice) to
liquid (water), and then from liquid (water) to gas (steam)? (º is the
symbol for degrees, so ºC means degrees Celsius and ºF means
degrees Fahrenheit)
0ºC (32ºF) and 100ºC (212ºF)
5. All elements have a one or two character symbol which is often used
to refer to them. With some of these symbols it is fairly obvious
which element they mean, for example hydrogen has the symbol H
and carbon has C, but with other elements it is far from obvious. Do
you know, or can you guess, which element has the symbol W?
Tungsten
