Question
A glass of water is taken. Half teaspoon of sugar is added to it and stirred. The sugar disappears, but the level of water in the glass does not rise. This means that the volume of water has not increased. The sugar particles are adjusted between the water molecules. This experiment shows that, water has _________________.

Solution
The correct option is B intermolecular space
In liquids, the molecules are not closely packed and have more intermolecular spaces between them. The sugar molecules get adjusted between the water molecules. Therefore, the water level does not increase. Mass is the measure of the amount of matter in an object. Liquids do not have a definite shape and take the shape of the container. They flow from a higher level to a lower level. But the experiment does not show these properties. Hence the correct answer is intermolecular space.
