Question:
A diver is able to cut through water in a swimming pool. Which property of matter does this observation show?
Answer:
The forces of attraction among the particles of water hold it together. But these forces are not too strong. The force applied by the diver is enough to overcome these forces of attraction. The observation shows the following properties of matter:
- Intermolecular forces in water are not very strong.
- Particles in liquids can be easily displaced from their original position.
- Liquids show reasonable fluidity.
