Card 1Nature of Matter

What is matter? Give the definition and provide two examples.

Answer

Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space. Examples: Books, water, air, living beings. All substances around us are composed of matter as they have mass and occupy space.

Card 2States of Matter

Compare the three states of matter based on particle arrangement and movement.

Answer

Solids: Particles held very close in orderly fashion, limited movement, definite volume and shape. Liquids: Particles close but can move around, definite volume but no definite shape. Gases: Particles

Card 3Classification of Matter

What is the difference between homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures? Give one example of each.

Answer

Homogeneous mixture: Components completely mix, uniform composition throughout. Example: Sugar solution in water. Heterogeneous mixture: Composition not uniform, different components may be visible. E

Card 4Classification of Matter

Distinguish between elements and compounds with examples.

Answer

Elements: Contain only one type of atom. Examples: Sodium, copper, hydrogen, oxygen. Compounds: Formed when atoms of different elements combine in definite ratio. Examples: Water (H₂O), carbon dioxide

Card 5Units and Measurements

What are the seven SI base units? Name the physical quantity, unit name, and symbol for each.

Answer

1. Length - metre (m), 2. Mass - kilogram (kg), 3. Time - second (s), 4. Electric current - ampere (A), 5. Temperature - kelvin (K), 6. Amount of substance - mole (mol), 7. Luminous intensity - candel

Card 6Units and Measurements

What is the difference between mass and weight?

Answer

Mass: Amount of matter present in a substance, remains constant everywhere, measured in kg or g. Weight: Force exerted by gravity on an object, varies with location due to gravity changes, depends on

Card 7Units and Measurements

Define density and write its formula. What are its SI units?

Answer

Density is the amount of mass per unit volume of a substance. Formula: Density = Mass/Volume. SI unit: kg/m³ or kg m⁻³. In chemistry, often expressed as g/cm³.

Card 8Units and Measurements

Convert 25°C to Kelvin and Fahrenheit scales.

Answer

Kelvin: K = °C + 273.15 = 25 + 273.15 = 298.15 K. Fahrenheit: °F = (9/5)(°C) + 32 = (9/5)(25) + 32 = 45 + 32 = 77°F
