Answer
When a stone is dipped in a glass containing some water, the water level rises because the stone is a bigger object and cannot be dissolved and adjusted between the intermolecular spaces of water.
When a spoon of sugar is added to water and stirred, the water level does not rise because sugar particles are smaller and get adjusted between the intermolecular spaces present in water molecules.
