Solution

Intermolecular space: Intermolecular space is the space between two molecules or atoms.

In solids it is very little, in liquids is more than the solids but less than liquids and in gases, it’s maximum.

  • The intermolecular space depends upon the force of attraction between the molecules or atoms s.
  • As the force of attraction increases the intermolecular space decreases
  • As the force of attraction decreases the intermolecular space increases.
  • Molecules of gases have a negligible force of attraction between them

Thus, The distance between the particles in matter is called intermolecular space.
