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