Explanation:
The molecules of a gas move apart when they collide. The average kinetic energy of the particles in a liquid (or solid) is small enough that the forces of attraction between them is sufficient to hold the particles close together.

The intermolecular force is lowest in gaseous state.
Explanation:
- Intermolecular forces are the force of attraction between molecules. It determines many of the physical properties of a substance.
- Strength of intermolecular force decides the state of matter that the substance will be in.
- Strong intermolecular force corresponds to closely packed molecules which is solid and low intermolecular force corresponds to molecules at far distance from each other which is gas.
- Intermolecular force is different from the covalent bonding force that is between atoms or electrostatic force which is between ions.
- State of a matter depends on the balance between kinetic energy of each particle and intermolecular forces.
- The kinetic energy keeps the molecules apart and moving around, and is a function of the temperature of the substance.
- Gases being sensitive to pressure and temperature has the lowest intermolecular force.
