Question

Arrange the given substances in increasing order of forces of attraction between the particles _____ water, sugar, oxygen.

Answer 1

Arrange the following substances in increasing order of forces of attraction between the particles—water, sugar, oxygen. Answer: Theforce of attraction between the particles increases as we go from liquid to gas so the required orderis: Oxygen<water<sugar

Answer 2

Dear Student,

◆ Answer -

Given substances are arranged in increasing order of forces of attraction between the particles as follows -

oxygen < water < sugar

◆ Explanation -

• Intermolecular forces of attraction of substances with state of matter varies as -

solids > liquid > gas

• Here, oxygen is gas hence have weakest intermolecular forces of attraction and sugar being a solid will have strongest intermolecular forces of attraction.
