Even one or two crystals of potassium permanganate can impart colour to a large volume of water.which characteristic of matter is illustrated by this observation?
Answers
Answer:
There must be millions of tiny particles in just one crystal of potassium permanganate, which keep on dividing themselves into smaller and smaller particles. Ultimately a stage is reached, when the particles cannot divide further into smaller particles.
This shows that atoms are very small.

Answer:
Even two-three crystals of “potassium permanganate” can impart colour to a “large volume of water” due to the natural phenomenon of diffusion.
Diffusion is a process in which the solute particles move from regions of "high concentration to regions" of "lower concentration" without the presence of any membrane. The movement of the solute particles (‘molecules’, ‘atoms’ or ‘ions’) is free and unhindered.
The potassium permanganate crystals spread out to regions where it’s only pure water and no solute particle of it.
Explanation:
The characterstic of matter illustrated by this observation is that the matter is made up of very tiny particles and these particles are very small in the size. Thus can color a very large area.
