Question

Solids have the largest inter-particle space.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Inter-particle distance is the space between the particles in matter.

Particles in solids are very close to each other, and the attractive forces are large enough to hold the particles in fixed positions.

The particles of liquids are a little further apart and are free to slide and flow, taking the shape of the container.

The separations between particles of a gas are quite large, resulting in complete freedom of motion.

Hence, the given statement is false.
