8Which statement is correct?
- AThe particles of a particular substance in each state are the same - only the arrangement and energy of the particles are different.
- BThe atoms of a particular substance in each state are the same - only the arrangement and energy of the particles are different.
- CThe particles of a particular substance in each state are different - only the arrangement and energy of the particles are the same.
- DThe electrons of a particular substance in each state are not the same - only the placement and energy of the particles are similar.
9Solids have strong forces of attraction that hold the particles close together in a fixed, regular arrangement. The particles don't have much energy so they can only vibrate about their fixed positions.
- ATrue
- BFalse

11Liquids have weaker forces of attraction between the particles. The particles are close together, but can move past each other and form irregular arrangements. They have more energy than the particles in a solid - they move in random directions at low speeds.
- ATrue

15Conduction of heat occurs mainly in liquids.
- ATrue
- BFalse
16Conduction of _____ energy is the process where _________ particles pass on their extra _____ energy to ___________ particles.
- Aheat
vibrating
extra
neighbouring - Bkinetic
stiff
heat
tiny - Cheat
little
kinetic
nearby
- Aheat
17Conduction of heat energy is the process where vibrating particles pass on their extra kinetic energy to neighbouring particles.
- ATrue
- BFalse
18The process continues throughout the solid and gradually some of the extra kinetic energy (or heat) is passed all the way through the solid, causing a rise in temperature at the other side of the solid. And hence an increase in the heat radiating from its surface.
- ATrue
- BFalse
19The process continues throughout the ______ and gradually some of the extra _____ energy (or heat) is passed all the way through the solid, causing a _____ in temperature at the other side of the _____. And hence an ______ in the heat radiating from its ________.
- Asolid

rise
solid
increase
surface - Bliquid
heat
decrease
liquid
impact
bottom - Csolid
kinetic
influx
liquid
increase

- Asolid
20Usually conduction is faster in denser solids, because the particles are closer together and so will collide more often and pass energy between them. Materials that have larger spaces between their particles conduct heat energy much more slowly - these materials are insulators.
- ATrue
- BFalse
21Usually ________ is faster in ______ solids, because the particles are _______ ________and so will ______ more often and pass energy between them. Materials that have ______ spaces between their particles conduct _____ energy much more ______ - these materials are ________.
- Aconduction

collide
larger
heat
slowly
insulators - Bconvection

22Why are metals good conductors?
- AThey have free particles
- BThey have expensive particles
- CThey have free electrons
- DThey have expensive electrons
23Metals conduct so well because the electrons are free to move inside the metal.
- ATrue
- BFalse
24At the hot end of the metal, electrons will move: faster or slower?
- AFaster
- BSlower
25At the hot end of the metal, electrons will more faster and collide with other free electrons. What happens next?
- AThey transfer energy
- BThey transfer electricity
- CThey exchange Christmas cards
26Because the electrons can move freely, this is obviously a much faster way of transferring the energy through the metal than slowly passing it between jostling neighbouring atoms. This is why heat energy travels so fast through metals.
- ATrue
- BFalse
27If a spade is left in the sun and you touch the metal part, it feels much hotter than the wooden handle. This is because the metal is hotter.
- ATrue
- BFalse
28If a spade is left in the sun and you touch the metal part, it feels much hotter than the wooden handle.
IT ISN'T HOTTER - it just conducts the heat into your hand much quicker than the wood, so your hand heats up much quicker.- ATrue
- BFalse
