Arrange water, sugar, oxygen in increasing order of forces of attraction between the particles and explain the same.

Open in App

Solution

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.

Therefore based on the forces of attraction between the particles, the given substances will be arranged in the order - Sugar > Water > Oxygen.
