Question

Put some glass balls into a glass tumbler up to its 5-6 cm height. Add

some salt to it. You will observe that there is no increase in the volume

due to the addition of salt up to the level of glass balls. Considering the

glass balls into a glass tumbler as particles of matter, which of the

following statements is correct?

(a) There is an attraction between the particles of matter.

(b) There is space between the particles of matter.

(c) There is repulsion between the particles of two matters.

(d) There is neither attraction nor repulsion between the particles of

matter.​

Answer 1

$\huge\sf\underline{\underline{Answer}}$

(A) Although there is attraction between the particles of matter,

but the volume increases on adding one matter into another only when

• The
• space between the particles in negligibly small and
• The particles of
• matter to be added are bigger in size and do not occupy the empty
• inter particle space.

(B) Correct. The salt particles occupy the space between the glass balls.

The volume does not increase as long as the space between the glass

balls is not filled up.

(c) According to Van der Waals forces, there is an attraction between the

particles of matter.

(d) According to Van der Waals forces, there is an attraction between the

particles of matter.

Answer 2

Answer:

(b) There is space between the particles of matter.

Explanation:

When salt is added to a glass tumbler which is filled with glass balls, then salt does not increase the volume as it fits in the spaces between the glass balls.

Now, if these glass balls are considered to be particles of matter, then it means there is also a space between the particles of matter.

Hence, it can be concluded like-

All matter is composed of small particles. These particles are too small to be seen with naked eyes and they also cannot be seen with microscope.

In matter these particles are held together by the intermolecular forces of attraction.

These particles have spaces between them and when particles of two matter are intermixed, one of them fits into the other one's spaces. This phenomenon is known as diffusion.
