Match each description with the correct state of matter.
Write the correct letter (X, Y, or Z) for each state of matter:
A student heats a block of ice initially at −5∘C-5^\circ\text{C}−5∘C. They measure the temperature every minute. They heat the ice for 4 minutes until it begins to melt, and then continue to heat it for a further 6 minutes while it is undergoing melting.
Describe and explain how the temperature of the ice changes during the 10 minutes.
321 exam-style questions on CIE IGCSE Physics 2.1 Kinetic particle model of matter, covering 2.1.1 States of matter and changes of state, 2.1.2a Particle structure and motion in solids, liquids and gases, 2.1.2b Gas pressure and particle collisions, 2.1.2c Brownian motion, 2.1.3a The absolute scale of temperature, and 2.1.3b Pressure, volume and temperature of a gas. Each one has a worked solution and a mark scheme showing where the marks go.
