I. Melting

II. Boiling

III. Refraction

IV. Conduction

Which combination of the above is evident of the molecular nature of matter?
II , III and IV only
I ,II and IV only
I , III and IV only
I , II and III only

Explanation

Melting (I): This process involves the breaking of intermolecular forces as a solid turns into a liquid, reflecting the molecular structure of matter.

Boiling (II): Similar to melting, boiling involves the transition from liquid to gas, indicating how molecules gain energy and move apart

Conduction (IV): This is the process of heat transfer through collisions between molecules, demonstrating how molecular interactions lead to energy transfer.
