Answers

Answered by saindulakavath

paper absorbs water faster than oil because water has more intercellular spaces (to have spaces between molecules ) when compared with oil.

I hope answer given by me is correct and it is useful to you.

Shaina11: U didn't explain what to do with intercellular spaces ?

saindulakavath: it means water has gap between their molecules and cells

Answered by varshithdaggad

paper is made of cellulose, which water molecules like to cling to. As a result, paper readily absorbs water Papers are especially absorbent because their cellulose fibers have empty spaces tiny air bubbles between them and watet has more intercellular space than oil
so paper absorbs water than oil
