Answer 1

Q1. Name the property of matter which helped the children to get the sweet smell of the mangoes.

$\implies$ The property is called the taste gland property. Savory dishes that taste of broth evoke pleasant emotions in most people. They are a signal that the food is rich in protein. This flavor has been recognized as the fifth basic taste in addition to the four better known tastes of sweet, sour, bitter and salty. The fact that there are sensory cells specifically for this fifth taste was discovered by a Japanese researcher around 1910, which is why the common Japanese term umami is used for “savory.” That helped children having the sweet smell of mango.

Q2. Why does this phenomenon not take place between two solids?

$\implies$ As, the objects may be much tough and rubbish to be smelled.
