Learn the key ideas in Particulate Nature of Matter, part of Class 8 Science, through chapter-wise MCQs. Connect scientific ideas with observation, reasoning and practical application and build lasting confidence.

This chapter introduces matter as made of tiny particles. Students learn that materials are particulate in nature, study evidence for particle behaviour, and connect this idea with states of matter, change, and scientific explanation of physical substances.

Sample Chapter MCQs

Showing 10 sample questions from this chapter.

01 Science
Solids are difficult to compress because their particles are:
A closely packed
B only on the surface
C very far apart
D not present
02 Science
Which statement best explains why gases have no fixed shape?
A gas volume is always zero
B gases have no particles
C their particles move freely and do not stay in fixed positions
D gases have the strongest attraction
03 Science
Particles of matter have:
A no space at all
B only colour between them
C only light between them
D spaces between them
04 Science
Diffusion is slower in liquids than in gases because liquid particles:
A have no space
B have no mass
C are bigger than gas particles always
D move less freely
05 Science

B True
08 Science
Matter in all states is made of:
A particles
B only light
C only heat
D only energy with no matter
09 Science
Why can smell spread faster from hot tea than from cold tea?
A heat removes diffusion
B higher temperature makes vapour particles move faster
C cold tea has no particles
D hot tea loses all mass
10 Science
Why do solids expand slightly on heating?
A attraction becomes infinite
B heat removes particles
C solids become empty inside
D their particles vibrate faster and move a little farther apart
