Question

1. Pressure on the surface of a gas is increased. What will happen to the inter particle forces?

Answer 1

If pressure is increased, the inter molecular attraction increases and if the gas is given high pressure, it would eventually become liquid.

Answer 2

Answer:

As pressure is increased the intermolecular forces between the gas molecules are increased.

Explanation:

Intermolecular forces are the forces of attraction between the molecules of a gas.

The strength of the intermolecular forces is affected by change in temperature and pressure.

High pressure brings the molecules of a gas together and hence increases the strength of the intermolecular forces.

As the pressure increases the molecules of the gas come closer together and finally form a liquid.
