Question

Distinguish between solids and gases on the basis of interparticle distance

Answer 1

Solids

# solids are the form

of matter in which

intermolecular

force of attraction is

maximum

# the distance between

the particles is very

less due to which the

compressibility of solid

is negligible

Gases

# gases are the state of

matter in which Intermolecular

force of attraction in least

#the distance between the

particles is the most as

compared to other states

due to this the gases become

extremely compressible
