Question

Name the state of matter in which forces between the constituent particles are strongest and weakest

Answer 1

Solids have strongest forces between their particles.

EXPLANATION:

The particles of a solid are tightly packed and cannot move. The inter-molecular forces are strong and there is no space for the particles to move.  

Gases have the weakest inter-particle forces. The particles in gases are scattered and not closely bound to each other. The inter-molecular forces between the particles of gases are negligible and so gases can easily diffuse.  

Solids and liquids as states of matter occupy space and have mass but differ in the way in which their particles are held together.
