Solution

The correct option is A True
  • Because the atoms of the molecules in solids are bonded by strong bonds, they are not compressible.
    Intermolecular forces in gases are modest, allowing them to remain widely apart, but intermolecular forces in solids are strong enough to hold them locked in place.
  • Gases have larger intermolecular space than solids because of these weak forces.
  • Hence, the given statement is true.
