      Q32. What is diffusion?

      Ans. Diffusion is the tendency of molecules to spread out in order to occupy an available space.

       

      Q33. Why do we need to group materials?

      Ans. We group materials to study their properties and also to observe any patterns in them. Grouping of material saves our time, energy and makes our work easier.



      Q34. How does a chemist give us the required medicine quickly?

      Ans. All related medicines are kept together on a proper place after sorting. This sorting of medicines in a chemist shop makes it easy for the chemist to give us the required medicine quickly.

      Ans. The substance which dissolves in water is called soluble substance. Example – milk, ink, sugar, common salt etc.

      The substance which do not dissolves in water is called insoluble substance. Example – sand, stone, mud, glass etc.
