You've got it in reverse. When sucrose dissolves in water, sucrose is the solute, and water is the solvent. In order to dissolve, sucrose molecules have to be more attracted to water molecules than they are to other sucrose molecules. If the attraction of sucrose to sucrose was greater than the attraction of sucrose to water, then there would be no reason for the solid sucrose to turn into the aqueous sucrose solution. Sucrose molecules would simply remain firmly attached to each other if that were the case.

What Attractive force between like particles?
cohesion
What is the attractive force between like particles is called?
covalent bond
When matter is transformed from the liquid state to the gas state the distance between the particles and the attractive forces between the particles A increases decrease or are abse?
It is a decrease.
What is the connection between the energy of the water particles at higher temperatures and the resulting solubility of sucrose?
the higher the temperature, the more contact there is to the object to make the solvent mix with the salute to make the sucrose.

What happens to the particles in a solid when it dissolved?
The particles in the solid (solute) break apart and form links with the particles in the liquid (solvent). There are strong forces of attraction between the molecules and particles inside the solute. These forces keep the particles together and make the solute a solid because they attract the solute particles tightly together. There are also strong forces of attraction between the molecules and particles inside the solvent. These forces keep the particles together and make the solvent a liquid because they attract the solvent particles slightly together. There is also an attractive force between the solute and solvent particles. To break these forces and from a bond between the solute and solvent particles energy is needed. This energy is gained from heat (the process of dissolving is speeded up through heat.) In conclusion, the particles in a solute break apart of their attractive forces and form bonds with the solvent particles through the attraction between the solute and solvent particles and through the energy gained by heat.
According to kenetic theory what correctly describes how particles behave?
Particles are small, hard spheres of insignificant volume. Attractive and repulsive forces between particles are weak.
