1. The states of the three substances and the strengths of the forces between the particles for each of the three substances are described as follows:
- sugar- solid state; strong attractive forces between the particles.
- salt- solid state; strong attractive forces between the particles.
- oil- liquid state; weaker attractive forces between the particles.
2. Given the information on room temperature and the temperature of the hot pan stove, it can be concluded that the melting point of sugar is less than the melting point of salt.
3. Considering the melting points of sugar and salt, as well as the states of sugar, salt, and oil at room temperature, the nature of the attractive forces between particles in the three substances can be described as follows:
- salt - has the highest attractive forces between its particles
- sugar - has the next highest attractive forces between its particles
- oil - has the lowest attractive forces between its particles
What are the attractive forces between particles?
The attractive forces between particles of a substance are the forces that exist between the particles of the substance that keep the particles of the substance close to each other.
The stronger the attractive forces between particles of a substance, the more orderly the structure of the substance will be.
Solids have the highest attractive forces between their particles
Liquids - have the next highest attractive forces between their particles
gases - have the lowest attractive forces between their particles
