Explain the inter-conversion of three states of matter in terms of force of attraction and kinetic energy of molecules.

Open in App

Solution

The interconversion of states of matter:
In terms of force of attraction:
The force of attraction decrease as the solid changes to liquid and gases.
Solid ⇢ Liquid ⇢ Gases.
Forces of attraction decreased.
In terms of kinetic energy:
When solid changes to liquids than to a gaseous state the kinetic energy increases because particles will absorb energy and kinetic energy will increase.
Solid ⇢ Liquid ⇢ Gases.
Kinetic energy increases.
