Question

A diver is able to cut through water in a swimming pool. Which property of matter does this activity show?

• A. The particles of matter are extremely small.
• B. The particles of matter have spaces between them.
• C. The particles of matter are in stationary state.
• D. The particles of matter attract each other.

Answer 1

Answer: (B), (D)

The correct options are
B The particles of matter attract each other.
D The particles of matter have spaces between them.

A diver can cut through water in a swimming pool. The property of matter observed are:

• This shows that the particles of matter have spaces between them.
• The intermolecular forces of attraction between liquid particles are not very strong, hence the diver's force is enough to overcome these forces.

Hence the correct options are $BandD$.
