Question

The inter-molecular forces are ____________ in case of gases because inter-molecular spaces are too______________.

• A. Small
• B. Large

Answer 1

• In the case of gases, the molecules are very far apart from each other.
• As intermolecular spaces are too large, therefore, intermolecular forces are almost negligible.
• It is an account of this reason that gases do not have a definite shape or a definite volume.

Conclusion: The intermolecular forces are Small in the case of gases because inter-molecular spaces are too Large
