Question

Describe an activity to show that particles of matter have spaces between them
​

Answer 1

When sugar is added to the water, the sugar the particles adjust themselves in the space between the water particles. Hence, we can say that particles of matter have space between them.

Answer 2

Activity to show particles of matter have space between them...

We take about 100 mL of water in a beaker . mark the level of water in a beaker with marking pen .

Also take 50 grams of sugar. Now add 50 grams of sugar in water in a beaker.

Dissolve the sugar by stirring it with a glass rod. When all the sugar has dissolved , we get a sugar solution.

then., we find that level of sugar solution in the beaker is at same mark where water level was initially in the beaker .

This means that even after dissolving 50 grams of sugar in 100 mL of water , the volume has not increase.

this can be explained by assuming that the particles of matter have space between them
