Question

Liquids have _________ density as compared to solids and _________ density as compared to gases.

• A. higher, lower
• B. lower, higher
• C. lower, lower
• D. higher, higher

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

lower, higher

Liquids have a lower density as compared to solids and higher density as compared to gases.

The increasing order of the strength of the intermolecular forces is gas < liquid < solid.

Stronger the intermolecular forces, the closer are the atoms/molecules and greater is the density.

Hence, the correct option is $\text{B}$
