What are intermolecular forces how are these related to the three state of matter?
Answers
Explanation:
Intermolecular forces are the forceswhich mediate interaction between molecules, including forces of attraction or repulsion which act between molecules and other types of neighboring particles, e.g., atoms or ions. Liquids have less intermolecular forces then solid but higher than gase
Answer:
Intermolecular force: It is the force operating between the atoms or molecules of a matter.
In case of solids this force keeps the constituent particles very close to each other and gives them an ordered arrangement of resulting into a regular geometrical shape in solids.
In liquid, intermolecular force is weak to give definite shape.
In gas, intermolecular force is negligible and so its constituent particles are free to move and occupy the available space.
