Intermolecular distance is the distance between the particles that make up matter. The graph below compares the intermolecular distances in two substances. One substance is gas and the other is a liquid. A bar graph is shown with the title Intermolecular Distance. The y axis title is Distance. The x axis title is Substance. There are two bars on the x axis. One is labeled X and the other is labeled Y. The bar for X is higher than the bar for Y. Which statement best describes the two substances? Particles collide in liquids so Substance Y is a liquid. Particles collide in gas so Substance X is a gas. Particles move around in liquids so Substance X is a liquid. Particles move around in gas so Substance Y is a gas.

particles collide in gas so substance X is a gas.
this above statement best describes the particles.
Therefore, X is a gas and Y is liquid
hope it helps... :)

The forces of attraction between the molecules are most in solid state of matter and least in the gaseous state.
Intermolecular distance is the greatest when there is the least intermolecular attraction.Therefore the intermolecular distance is greatest in gaseous state and least in solid state.
In the graph provided, X is a gas and Y is a solid.Since, the bar for X is higher, that means the intermolecular distance is greater.
Given the fact that liquids have lesser intermolecular distance than solids, particles will collide more in gases than in liquids.
Therefore, the statement" Particles colllide in gas so Substance X is a gas" best describes the two substances.
