34. What is the basic building block of all matter?

Molecules
Cells
Atoms
Organs
Explanation:

Atoms are the basic building blocks of all matter. They combine to form molecules and substances.

35. Which state of matter has a definite shape and volume?

Solid
Gas
Liquid
Plasma
Explanation:

Solids have a definite shape and volume because their particles are tightly packed and do not move freely.

36. What happens to the particles of matter in a gas compared to a solid?

They are arranged in a regular pattern
They have more space between them
They are tightly packed
They vibrate in fixed positions
Explanation:

In a gas, particles have more space between them and move freely. In a solid, particles are tightly packed and vibrate in fixed positions.

37. Which instrument is used to measure the volume of a liquid?

Ruler
Beaker
Graduated cylinder
Thermometer
Explanation:

A graduated cylinder is a tool used to measure the volume of liquids accurately due to its graduated markings.

38. What happens to the volume of matter when it is heated up?

It remains the same
It decreases
It increases
It becomes a solid
Explanation:

Heating up matter causes the particles to move faster and spread out, which increases the volume of the substance.

39. Which of the following is an example of a physical change in matter?

Melting ice
Cooking food
Burning wood
Rusting iron
Explanation:

Melting ice is a physical change as it changes from a solid to a liquid state without altering its chemical composition.

40. What happens to the mass of matter when it is divided into smaller pieces?

It remains the same
It increases
It becomes a gas
It decreases
Explanation:

The mass of matter remains the same even when it is divided into smaller pieces. Mass is a constant property of matter.
