3.they are empty spaces between the particles
4.they are forces of attraction between the particles

Question 4

the evidence to support the particulate theory of matter

Answer 4

diffusion, dissolving, osmosis and brownian motion

Question 5

dissolving

Answer 5

crystal particles breakaway from each other and move to occupy the spaces between the water particles

Question 6

diffusion

Answer 6

the movement of particles from a place of high concentration to low concentration until evenly distrubuted.

Answer 7

the movement of particles from a place of high concentration to low concentration throughout a selectively permeable membrane

Question 8

brownian motion

Answer 8
