Multiple choice
1. Matter is measured in
A. Kilograms
B. Joules
C. Electron volts
D. Rems
ANS>>:a
Matter is measured in kilograms.
Matter refers to anything that has mass and occupies space. The standard unit of mass in
the international system of units (si) is the kilogram (kg). Joules measure energy, electron
volts measure atomic-scale energy, and rems measure radiation dose, not matter.
2. Atoms and molecules are the fundamental building blocks of
A. Energy
B. Radiation
C. Matter
D. Gravity
ANS>>:c
Atoms and molecules are the fundamental building blocks of matter.
Matter is composed of atoms, which combine to form molecules. Energy and radiation
are phenomena associated with matter, but they are not its building blocks. Gravity is a
force acting on matter, not a constituent of it.
3. Ice and steam are examples of two forms of
