Let's go through each question one by one and solve them with explanations.
---
1. Anything that has mass and takes up space.
-
A solid
-
B matter
✔
-
C volume
-
D temperature
✔ Correct Answer: B – matter
Explanation:
"Matter" is defined as anything that has mass and occupies space. Solids, liquids, and gases are all forms of matter. So, the best answer is
matter.

2. The amount of matter in an object
-
A volume
-
B density
-
C weight
-
D mass
✔
✔ Correct Answer: D – mass
Explanation:
Mass refers to the amount of matter in an object. It is measured in grams or kilograms. Weight is the force of gravity on that mass, so it’s different.
---
3. The amount of space something takes up.
-
A element
-
B matter
-
C mass
-
D volume
✔
✔ Correct Answer: D – volume
Explanation:
Volume is the measure of how much space an object or substance occupies. For example, a liter of water has a volume of 1 liter.

4. The state of matter in which a substance has a definite volume but no definite shape.
-
A solid
-
B gas
-
C liquid
✔
-
D matter
✔ Correct Answer: C – liquid
Explanation:
Liquids have a fixed volume (they don’t expand or compress easily) but take the shape of their container — meaning they do
not have a definite shape.
---
5. The state of matter in which a substance has a definite shape and definite volume.
-
A gas
-
B atom
-
C liquid
-
D solid
✔
✔ Correct Answer: D – solid
Explanation:
Solids maintain both their shape and volume. For example, a brick keeps its shape and doesn't flow like a liquid or expand like a gas.
---
6. The state of matter in which a substance does not have a definite shape or volume.
-
A element
-
B gas
✔
-
C liquid
-
D compound
✔ Correct Answer: B – gas
Explanation:
Gases expand to fill their container — they have neither a fixed shape nor a fixed volume. They take the shape and volume of whatever container they're in.
---
7. True or false? Physical properties are things that can be observed about matter.
✔ Answer: True
Explanation:
Physical properties include color, density, solubility, melting point, boiling point, etc. These can be observed or measured
without changing the substance’s chemical identity. So yes, physical properties are observable.
