A few substances are arranged in the increasing order of 'forces of attraction' between their particles. Which one of the following represents the correct arrangement?
Oxygen, water, sugar
Correct option explanation:- The force of attraction among three states is Gas < Liquid < Solid. So, accordingly answer is oxygen<water<sugar.
Incorrect option explanation :- (a) Since water is liquid and have more inter-particle force of attraction than air which is gas. So, options are improper.
(b) Options are not according to increasing force of attraction in three states i.e. Gas < Liquid < Solid.
(c) Options are not according to increasing force of attraction in three states i.e. Gas < Liquid < Solid.
Concluding statement :- The force of attraction among three states is Gas < Liquid < Solid. So, accordingly answer is oxygen<water<sugar.
