Name the distance intermolecular force experienced by the molecule of a gas
Answers
Gas particles have broken away from the intermolecular forces that hold liquids and solids together. An alternative name for intermolecular forces is the van der Waals forces. They include London Dispersion Forces, dipole-dipole forces, and hydrogen bonds.
Answer:
Two factors determine whether a substance is a solid, a liquid, or a gas:
The kinetic energies of the particles (atoms, molecules, or ions) that make up a substance. Kinetic energy tends to keep the particles moving apart.
The attractive intermolecular forces between particles that tend to draw the particles together.
If the average kinetic energy is greater than the attractive forces between the particles, a substance will not condense to form a liquid or a solid. If the kinetic energy is less than the attractive forces, a liquid or solid will form.
