Example Question #1 : Model That Matter Is Too Small To See
Which of these is the best models that matter is made of tiny particles?
Matter is anything that takes up space. Matter is in the form of solid, liquid, or gas. Solids, liquids, and gases are made of tiny particles called atoms and molecules. In a solid, the particles are very attracted to each other. They are close together and vibrate in position but don’t move past one another. In a liquid, the particles are attracted to each other but not as much as they are in a solid. The particles of a liquid are close together, always moving, and can slide past one another. In a gas, the particles have very little attraction to each other. They are very far apart compared to the particles in a solid or liquid, and are constantly moving. The particles don’t interact with one another but just hit and bounce off of each other when they collide.

Which of these images best represents the type of matter that has particles that are vibrating in place but not moving past each other?

Example Question #1 : Model That Matter Is Too Small To See
This image shows the particles in a type of matter. Which type of matter is this image probably showing?
liquid
gas
none of these
solid
liquid
The answer is a liquid. They are too close together to be a gas, but not in a specific formation like a solid.

All of the answer choices are correct.
None of the answer choices are correct.
Models can be used as a tool to support thinking.
Models are tools that scientists can use to predict events.
Models can be used to generate new questions.
All of the answer choices are correct.
A scientific model can be used a show scientists' understanding of an object, event, or process. Models can be used to generate new questions, used as a tool to support thinking, and models are tools that scientists can use to predict events.
Example Question #3 : Model That Matter Is Too Small To See
Solids, liquids, and gases are made of tiny particles called ________ and ________.
electrons; vibrations
molecules; atoms
flexibility; neurons
protons; molecules
molecules; atoms
Solids, liquids, and gases are made of tiny particles called atoms and molecules. Atoms and molecules are what make up all matter. They are the smallest particles of any element. They still have the same properties as the element they make up. An atom of aluminum still has the same melting point as an aluminum can. They are so tiny we cannot see their color, but if we zoomed in with a scanning tunneling microscope or electron microscope, we would see they would be the same color.

Example Question #1 : Particle Size
What is the name of the scientific theory that recognizes that all matter is made of up parts that are too small to be seen without magnification?
Atomic Theory
Newton's 3rd Law of Motion
Quantum Theory
Law of Thermodynamics
Atomic Theory
Atomic theory is the name of the theory described in the question. Atoms are very tiny and cannot be seen without a microscope. They are made up of parts that determine what the atom is, how it acts, and its mass. Inside of atoms are protons, neutrons, and electrons.
