Arrange the following substances in increasing order of forces of attraction
Arrange the following substances in
increasing order of forces of attraction between the particles – Water, Sugar, Oxygen.
Answer - Oxygen < Water < Sugar
Explanation: Oxygen is a gas, thus force of attraction is negligible between particles. Water is a liquid, thus force of attraction between particles is more than liquid and less than solid.
Sugar is a solid, thus force of attraction between particles is greatest.
