Question

In a sphere of influence, the liquid molecule at its centre is

• A. attracted by other molecules in the sphere of influence.
• B. repelled by other molecules lying outside the sphere of influence.
• C. attracted by other molecules lying outside the sphere of influence.
• D. repelled by other molecules in the sphere of influence.

Hint:

In a liquid, molecules inside the sphere of influence experience attractive forces from their neighboring molecules.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Understanding molecular forces in a liquid.
In a liquid, molecules within the sphere of influence experience attractive forces from other molecules around them. The force exerted by other molecules within the sphere of influence is an attractive force. Thus, the correct answer is (A) attracted by other molecules in the sphere of influence.
