The solubility of common salt is 200g The solubility of sugar is 100g at 40°C
at 40°C.
When 200g of common salt is added When 100g of sugar is added into 100
into 100 ml of water of 40°C, it forms a ml of water of 40°C, it forms a saturated
saturated solution. (The salt cannot solution. (The sugar cannot dissolves
dissolves anymore) anymore)
John Dalton
an English school teacher, was the first to propose a
theory of the composition of matter. He stated
that all matter is made up of tiny particles called
atoms and he said that these particles are the
indivisible parts of a specific kind of matter.
Particles in matter are always vibrating or moving and colliding with each
other randomly.
There are forces of attraction between particles of matter.
The higher the temperature, the higher the kinetic energy of the particles

Diffusion
Diffusion is a process whereby particles of different matters mix slowly due to
the random movement of the particles
The diffusion of particles in matter supports the kinetic theory of matter
Inference: Inference:
The small particles of air have escaped The fine particles separated by water are
through tiny air holes in the wall of the dispersed uniformly among the water
balloon particles.
Conclusion: Conclusion:
Matter is made up of tiny and discrete Matter is made up of tiny and discrete
particles particles
