Arrange the following substances in increasing order of forces of attraction between particles−− water, sugar, oxygen.

Solution
Sugar is a solid; the forces of attraction between the particles of
sugar are strong. Water is a liquid; the forces of attraction here
are weaker than sugar. Oxygen is a gas; the forces of attraction are
the weakest in gases.
Thus, the increasing order of forces of attraction between the
particles of water, sugar and oxygen is
Oxygen < Water < Sugar
Sugar is a solid; the forces of attraction between the particles of sugar are strong. Water is a liquid; the forces of attraction here are weaker than sugar. Oxygen is a gas; the forces of attraction are the weakest in gases.
Thus, the increasing order of forces of attraction between the particles of water, sugar and oxygen is
Oxygen < Water < Sugar
