Answer 2

There’s a force that acts on the particulate matter that keeps it together. Some substances change into powder, some others change into small crystals and others don’t break easily. The magnitude of the force of attraction varies from matter to matter, i.e. depends on the nature of the matter.

For example, breaking a chalk is easier than breaking a nail. This proves that attraction varies from particles of one substance to another.
