Question

How will you justify that air occupies a space?

Answer 1

• The matter is defined as anything that has a mass and occupies space.
• In order to justify that air occupies a space, we can conduct an experiment.
• Take a glass beaker which is half-filled with water.
• place and lower an inverted glass tumbler in that glass beaker. Then tilt the tumbler.
• You can see that the air gets displaced and air bubbles come out from that. This indicates that air occupies space.
