Question

The diver is able to cut through water in a swimming pool and not through ice because particles of ice have stronger intermolecular forces than that of the swimming pool.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A

True

The diver is able to cut through water in the swimming pool because the matter is not continuous, but is made up of particles which have vacant spaces between them. Further, the forces of attraction between molecules of water are not stronger than that of the ice. This is the reason why a diver can easily cut through water by applying force to displace water and occupy its place.
