Question
What do you mean by the inter-molecular spaces? How do they vary in different states of matter?
Solution
INTER-MOLECULAR SPACES “The spacing between the molecules of the matter is called Inter-molecular spaces.”
The inter-molecular spaces in different states of matter:
- The intermolecular space between solids is absent.
- The intermolecular space between Liquid is moderate but present.
- The intermolecular space between gasses is free-flowing and plenty.
Explanation of inter-molecular space: Take water in a measuring cylinder say up to 80 ml. mark. Add 10 gm of salt to it. The volume in the cylinder should increase. On dissolving salt we find volume remains same i.e. up to 80 ml mark. This is because there are spaces in water molecules and salt molecules occupy these spaces and volume remains the same.

There are three substances X, Y and Z. The substance X does not have a fixed melting point or boiling point and it still shows the individual properties of its constituents. The substance Y is a pure substance which occurs in nature as such. The substance Y has a fixed melting point and boiling point but it cannot be broken down into simpler substances by any chemical means. The substance Z is also a pure substance whose properties are entirely different from those of its constituents. The substance Z can, however, be divided by electrolysis into two substances which belong to the same class of substances as Y.

A, B and C are all liquids. Liquid A has a comparatively low boiling point. On heating, liquid A vaporises completely without leaving behind any residue. Liquid A is being used increasingly as a fuel in motor vehicles either alone or by mixing with petrol. Liquid B has a very high boiling point. It also vaporises completely on heating, without leaving any residue. Liquid B is a conductor of electricity and used in making thermometers. Liquid C has a moderate boiling point. On heating, liquid C vaporises leaving behind a white solid D which is used in cooking vegetables. The condensation of vapours from C give a liquid E which turns anhydrous CuSO4 to blue.
