Question

is matter continuous or particulate??
plzz explain this in short but effectively!

Answer 1

matter is particulate because if you take
a molecule of water or an atom of copper. If you split the water further you'd get hydrogen and oxygen .. but it is no longer water. Similarly you'd come to a copper atom .. split it further and it is no longer copper but protons, neutrons and electrons. So matter is particulate.

Answer 2

Objective

To prove that matter is made up of tiny particles (and have intermolecular space).

Materials Required

Beaker, water, salt or sugar, glass rod and marker.

Procedure

1. Take a 100 mL beaker half-filled with water and mark theinitial water level with the help of a marker.

2. Then, add a teaspoonful of sugar (or salt) into it and stir withthe help of the glass rod.

3. Mark the water level after the disappearance of the solute.

Observation

When we dissolve salt in water, the particles of salt get into the spaces between particles of water

Explanation

Matter is not continuous and is particulate in nature, i.e. it is made up of particles. When salt is dissolve in water then water level does not change. It indicates that there are some vacant spaces among the particles of water. These are known as interparticle spaces. The particles of salt have occupied some of them.

Conclusion

Matter is made up of tiny particles and intermolecular spaces are present in between them.
