Solution

In gases, the molecules are very far apart, and as a result, the inter-molecular force of attraction is least in gases.
If the particles are closer to each other, then the force of attraction is also more.
In the case of solids, the particles are tightly packed so the force of attraction is much stronger when compared to other states of matter.
Hence, the inter-molecular force of attraction is least in gases and maximum in solids.
