PARTICULATE NATURE OF MATTER ANSWERS

1. Density of gases is lower than in liquids -Intermolecular forces in gasesare weaker than in liquids.
- Kinetic energy of gas particles is higher than that of liquids

2. - Density 
- Temperature 

3. It is continuously knocked/bombarded/hit by the unseen air molecules/particles. (1mk)

4. Water rises up the glass tube. 

Hydrogen diffuses out the porous pot faster than air diffusing into the pot creating partial vacuum (low
pressure) hence atmospheric pressure pushes water upwards.`

5. The pollen grain particles are hit by (invisible) water particle which are moving randomly.

6. In liquids the forces are smaller and molecules are able to roll. over one another while in the gaseous sate, the
molecules are free to more because gases have the weakest force of attraction.

7. They move in continuous random movement because of uneven bombardment by the invisible particles or
molecules of the air.

8. The gas diffuses;/moves from region of high concentration to low concentrationü1

9. Hydrogen gas diffuses out of the pot at a faster rate than air gets in. 1
Pressure in the pot reduces below the atmospheric pressureü1. Hence the greater atmospheric
pressure on the surface of the water pushes the water up the tube. 1

10. Molecules of solid absorb heat energy and rate of vibration of molecules increase increasing
molecular distance.

11. Dust particles collide with invisible air particles that also move randomly
