Question

In which state of matter are the attractive forces between molecules the weakest?

Answer 1

Answer:

In gaseous state, the force of attraction between the molecules are weakest.

Hope it helps..

Answer 2

In the gaseous state of matter, the attractive forces between molecules are the weakest.

• The state of matter can be determined based on two properties:

1. The kinetic energy of the particles
2. The intermolecular force between the particles

• The main characteristic of gaseous matter is the highest degree of randomness of the particle due to greater kinetic energy compared to liquid and solids.

• The kinetic energy in the gaseous state is able to overcome the attractive forces between its molecules.

• As the gaseous molecules are non-polar, they possess London force, which is the weakest among all the intermolecular forces.
