Question

Define the following: (a) intermolecular forces, (b) intermolecular spaces.
In which states of matter, the above forces are: (a) maximum, (b) minimum?​

Answer 1

ANSWER

The interparticle space is minimum in solid as inter molecular force of attraction is maximum in solid. Liquids has more interparticle space than solid and gases have maximum interparticle space.

Answer 2

intermolecular forces, =the attraction of matter in between them is called intermolecular forces.

intermolecular spaces.=matter have some space in between them that is called intermolecular spaces.

maximum=solids>liquids>gases

minimum=gases>liquids>solids
