: The fixed temperature at which a liquid starts changing into gaseous state is called its boiling point. The temperature remains constant till the whole of the liquid changes into gaseous state
The fixed temperature at which a solid changes into a liquid at a given pressure is called its melting point. The temperature remains constant as long as the conversion is going on.
Give reasons When a teaspoon of sugar is added to half a glass of water and stirred, the water level in the glass remains unchanged.
Answer
When a teaspoon of sugar is added to half a glass of water and stirred, the water level in the glass remains unchanged because the sugar particles are adjusted between the water molecules as inter-molecular gaps are more in liquids.
Give reasons Liquids have definite volume but no definite shape
Answer
The molecules of liquid are loosely packed and intermolecular force of attraction is small but number of molecules in it remain the same. Hence liquids have definite volume but no definite shape
Give reasons The odour of scent spreads in a room.
Answer
Scent fumes (molecules) being gases fill the spaces between air molecules and the molecules of air fill the spaces between scent molecules due to diffusion, fumes spread into a room
Substances that can flow are called fluids. Both gases and liquids are fluids, e.g. gases (carbon dioxide, hydrogen), liquids (water, petrol and sulphuric acid).
The molecules of matter are always in motion and attract each other with a force, and this force is called intermodular force of attraction due to which they are held together

Answer
When we invert the bottle and blow air into the bottle throw the side opening. It creates high pressure inside the bottles and the egg is kicked out of the bottle.
