A few substances are arranged in the increasing order of ‘forces of attraction’ between their particles. Which one of the following represents a correct arrangement?- Water, air, wind
- Air, sugar, oil
- Oxygen, water, sugar
- Salt, juice, air
Correct answer: (c) oxygen, water, sugar
Explanation: The forces of attraction are more in solids compared to liquids and gases. Forces of attraction are least in gases. Hence, the above statement is true as oxygen is a gas, water is liquid and sugar is solid.
