Give reasons

(a) Liquids and gases flow but solids do not ? 

(b) A gas Alls up the space available to it. 

(c) The odour of scent spreads in a room. 

(d) We can walk through air. 

(e) Liquids have definite volume but no definite shape. 

(f) When a teaspoon of sugar is added to half a glass of water and stirred, the water level in the glass remains unchanged. 

(g) When an empty gas jar is inverted over a gas jar containing a coloured gas, the gas also spreads into the empty jar. 

(h) A red ink drop added to small amount of water in a glass turns the water red in some time.

Best answer

(a) The molecules of liquids and gases are far apart i.e. have more gaps, intermolecular attraction force is very less as compared to solids, hence liquids and gases can flow but solids do not as gaps*in solid molecules is less and molecular force of attraction very strong. 

(b) Intermolecular force of attraction is least and intermolecular spaces are very large, hence gases can fill up the space available to them. 

(c) Scent fumes (molecules) being gases fill the spaces between air molecules and the molecules of air fill the spaces between scent molecules due to diffusion, fumes spread into a room. 

OR 

Due to inter-mixing of scent molecules and air molecules, scent fumes spread into the room. 

(d) The molecules of air are far apart i.e. large gaps and we can walk through air easily. 

(e) The molecules of liquid are loosely packed and intermolecular force of attraction is small but number of molecules in it remain the same. Hence liquids have definite volume but no definite shape. 

(f) When a teaspoon of sugar is added to half a glass of water and stirred, the water level in the glass remains unchanged because the sugar particles are adjusted between the water molecules as inter-molecular gaps are more in liquids. 

(g) This is because Gases can diffuse or flow in all directions. 

(h) When we put a drop of red ink in a glass of water, its particles diffuse with particles of water slowly but continuously and the water turns red.
