Concept Explanation
 

Particles of matter have spaces between them

The particles of matter have spaces between them:

During the dissolution of sugar in water the particles of sugar occupy the empty spaces between the particles of water. The empty space is called ‘inter molecular space or inter molecular volume.’

  • The space between particles of matter is called inter-molecular space.
  • The amount of inter-molecular space between the particles of matter depends on the type of matter considered.
  • Gases have the highest amount of inter-molecular space between the particles while solids have the least.
