प्रश्न
Arrange the following substances in increasing order of forces of attraction between particles -
water, sugar, oxygen
Advertisements
उत्तर
- Sugar is a solid; the forces of attraction between the particles of sugar are strong. Water is a liquid; the forces of attraction here are weaker than sugar. Oxygen is a gas; the forces of attraction are the weakest in gases.
- Thus, the increasing order of forces of attraction between the particles of water, sugar and oxygen is
- Oxygen < Water < Sugar.

The substance X normally exists in a physical state which can flow easily but does not fill its vessel completely. It also turns anhydrous copper sulphate blue. When substance X is cooled excessively, it changes into a substance Y which has a fixed shape as well as a fixed volume. If, however, the substance X is heated strongly, it changes into a substance Z which has neither a fixed shape nor a fixed volume.
- Name the substances (i) X (ii) Y and (iii) Z.
