Question

Describe an activity to show that particles of matter have spaces between them.

Answer 1

• Take a glass of water, add sugar/salt and stir.
• You will observe that there is no rise in the water level.
• This shows that particles of matter have spaces between them. When sugar/salt is added to the water, the sugar particles adjust themselves in the space between the water particles.

Hence, we can say that particles of matter have space between them.
