Question

List three characteristics of particulate nature of matter

Answer 1

Characteristics of matter:
-matter is made up of tiny particles
-all particles have intermolecular spaces
-particles of matter r in constant motion

Answer 2

Matter in all its three states is particulate in nature. This means that matter is made up of tiny particles.

The characteristics of the particulate nature of matter are:

1. These particles have some spaces between them. In these spaces between particles, no matter exists. These inter-molecular spaces are different in solids, liquids and gases.
2. The particles of matter keep moving continuously. This means that particles are in a state of motion all the time.
3. These particles have inter-molecular attraction between them. This means that inter-molecular force of attraction exists between the particles of matter that keeps the particles of the matter together and binds them together.
