Solution

The correct option is B

intermolecular space


  • A molecule is defined as the smallest unit of matter, which has an independent existence and can retain the complete physical and chemical properties of matter.
  • According to the kinetic theory of gases, the molecules always attract each other. The force of attraction between similar kinds of molecules is called the force of cohesion, whereas the force of attraction between different kinds of molecules is called the force of adhesion.
  • According to the kinetic theory of gases, the empty space between the molecules is called intermolecular space.
  • Therefore, the empty space between the molecules is called intermolecular space.

Hence, the correct answer is an option (B).
