Question

Intermolecular spaces are minimum in the case of oxygen gas.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Intermolecular space

1. Spaces between molecules of solid, liquid, and gas are called intermolecular spaces.
2. Solids have almost no intermolecular space between their molecules.
3. Liquids have more intermolecular space between their particles as compared to solids.
4. Gases have the largest intermolecular space between their molecules.
5. There is almost no force of attraction between the molecules of a gas.
6. Due to no force of attraction, the molecules move in a random direction and have maximum intermolecular space.
7. According to the question, oxygen as gas will have maximum intermolecular spaces.

Hence, the given statement is false.
