Question

In which form of matter is the force of attraction between the constituents particles is minimum?

Answer 1

Matter:

• Anything that has a tendency to occupy the spaces, has some mass, and assume by the sensory organ called matter
• Generally, the matter is of five types, Solid, Liquid, Gas, Plasma, and Bose-Einstein-condensate.

Solid:

• A substance that has fixed volume, fixed shape & size
• They have high intermolecular forces.
• They have low intermolecular forces.

Liquid:

• substance that has fixed volume but no fix in shape & size.
• They have high intermolecular forces compared to the gas and lower than the solid.
• They possess high intermolecular spaces compared to the solid and lower than the gas.

Gas:

• The substance that has no fixed shape, size, and volume
• Gas and liquid are considered fluids.
• When external forces or stress are applied to the substances, they change their shape.
• Gaseous particles have low intermolecular forces so that they gain the shape of the container.
• Due to weak intermolecular force gases possess low densities.

Thus, In the gas form of matter, the force of attraction between the constituents' particles is minimum.
