Question

The force of attraction among the constituent particles is ________ in solids, ________ in liquids and __________ in gases.

• A. weak, very weak, very high
• B. weak, weak, very weak
• C. very high, weak, very weak
• D. very high, very weak, high

Answer 1

The correct option is C very high, weak, very weak

The force of attraction among the constituent particles is $\underset{–}{veryhigh}$ in solids, $\underset{–}{weak}$ in liquids and $\underset{–}{veryweak}$ in gases. So, there are more spaces between the particles of gases, lesser between those of liquids, and least in solids. This is responsible for the respective properties of solids, liquids, and gases.
