Solution

According to the kinetic theory of gases-
The actual combined volume of all gaseous particles is almost negligible in comparison to the volume that they have occupied in a container.
So, as the gaseous molecules have very large space around them they have enough space to move here and there due to which they have a very small force of attraction in between them.
Because of the large distance between gas particles, there are very few__forces_ of_attraction between them.
