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.
