Option 3 : Both 1 and 2
The correct answer is Option 3, i.e Both 1 and 2.
- Particles of matter intermix on their own with each other.
- They do so by getting into the spaces between the particles.
- This intermixing of particles of two different types of matter on their own is called diffusion.
- There’s a force that acts on the particulate matter that keeps it together.
- Some substances change into powder, some others change into small crystals and others don’t break easily.
- The magnitude of the force of attraction varies from matter to matter, i.e. depends on the nature of the matter.
- For example, breaking chalk is easier than breaking a nail. This proves that attraction varies from particles of one substance to another.
- Cohesion means the force of attraction between the particulate matter of the same substance.
