Question
Identify the characteristics of particles of matter from the given options:
Answer: Option A
:
A, B, and D
The matter is made of discrete particles.
1. The particles can accommodate different particles as they have space between them. Example: Sugar dissolving in water without any change in volume of the mixture.
2. The particles are in continuous motion. They do not have fixed position. This is the reason why the gas molecules hit the walls of a container and exert pressure. The particles in a solid are in motion too.
3. The particles are very small as compared to the matter.
4. The particles attract each other. This is the reason why liquid water has to be heated to break the bonds between water molecules and to convert them into vapour.
