PSEB Class 9 Matter in Our Surroundings Practice

Matter in Our Surroundings is an important Class 9 Science chapter that explains what matter is and how matter exists in different states. Students learn that matter has mass, occupies space, and is made up of very small particles that have spaces between them, move continuously, and attract one another.

Questions from this chapter may ask students to identify matter, compare solids, liquids and gases, understand diffusion, explain why gases are highly compressible, identify melting, boiling, freezing, condensation and sublimation, and understand latent heat and evaporation.

Use this 20-question practice test before broader Class 9 Science revision. After completing the test, review every explanation carefully and repeat the test after revising weak areas such as particle nature of matter, properties of states of matter, change of state, latent heat, and evaporation.

What to Review for Matter in Our Surroundings

Focus on particles of matter, states of matter, change of state, and evaporation.

Matter and Particles

Review matter, mass, volume, particles of matter, spaces between particles, continuous motion of particles, force of attraction, diffusion, kinetic energy, and the effect of temperature on particle motion.

States of Matter

Practice solids, liquids, gases, fixed shape, fixed volume, fluidity, rigidity, density, compressibility, arrangement of particles, and comparison of particle attraction in different states.

Change of State and Evaporation

Revise melting, freezing, boiling, condensation, sublimation, latent heat of fusion, latent heat of vaporisation, evaporation, cooling due to evaporation, humidity, wind speed, temperature, and surface area.

Key Matter in Our Surroundings Concepts to Remember

Before repeating the test, make sure you can connect each property with the correct state of matter. Most questions become easier when you first decide whether the concept is about particles, state of matter, change of state, or evaporation.

Common Mistakes in Matter in Our Surroundings Questions

Matter in Our Surroundings questions often depend on exact definitions and everyday examples. When checking your result, see whether one of these common mistakes affected your answer:

  • Thinking feelings such as love or anger are matter
  • Forgetting that matter has mass and occupies space
  • Confusing diffusion with dissolving only
  • Forgetting that diffusion becomes faster at higher temperature
  • Confusing fixed shape with fixed volume
  • Thinking gases have fixed volume
  • Forgetting that gases are highly compressible
  • Confusing melting with boiling
  • Confusing boiling with evaporation
  • Forgetting that evaporation is a surface phenomenon
  • Forgetting that boiling is a bulk phenomenon
  • Confusing sublimation with condensation
  • Thinking temperature always changes during change of state
  • Forgetting the role of latent heat during change of state
  • Thinking higher humidity increases evaporation
  • Forgetting that evaporation causes cooling

Matter in Our Surroundings Practice FAQ

Common questions about this PSEB Class 9 Science Matter in Our Surroundings practice test.

Yes. The Matter in Our Surroundings practice test is free to use and does not require registration, payment, or a subscription.

The test contains 20 multiple-choice questions with four answer options, instant result checking, and detailed explanations.

Review matter, particles of matter, diffusion, solids, liquids, gases, compressibility, melting, boiling, sublimation, latent heat, evaporation, and cooling due to evaporation.

Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space. Air, water, stone, food, and a book are examples of matter.

The three common states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas. They differ in shape, volume, compressibility, and particle arrangement.

Sublimation is the direct change of a solid into vapour without passing through the liquid state. Camphor and ammonium chloride are common examples.

Evaporation is the change of a liquid into vapour from the surface of the liquid at temperatures below its boiling point.

Yes. Review the explanations, revise difficult concepts, and complete the 20-question test again whenever you need additional practice.

No. The questions are original PSEB-style educational practice material. They are not copied from official Punjab School Education Board examination papers.
