Question

Explain-How does the competition between intermolecular forces of attraction among the constituent particles & their kinetic energy affect their physical state of matter

Answer 1

if the intermolecular space is very much high then it is easy for us to change the shape of the particle...
but if the intermolecular space os less then it is impossible for us to apply force nd to change its shape..

Answer 2

Explanation:

There are three states of matter:

1. Solid state: In this state, the particles are held with stronger intermolecular forces of attraction which means that the particles have a regular arrangement and the kinetic energy of the particles is the least.

2. Liquid state: in this state, the intermolecular forces of attraction is less than the solid state and hence, the particles can be easily moved. Therefore, the kinetic energy of the particles is more than the solid state.

3. Gaseous state: In this state, the particles move in a random motion and intermolecular forces of attraction between the particles is the least. the kinetic energy of the particles is the highest of all the states.

Hence, kinetic energy and intermolecular forces of attraction follow inverse relationship.
