Question

The inter molecular space is minimum in-

• A. solids
• B. gases
• C. liquids
• D. none of these

Answer 1

The correct option is B

gases

1. In solids, the particles are closely packed, as they have a larger intermolecular force of attraction between the constituent particles.
2. In the case of liquids, the particles are moving more freely than in solids and the intermolecular force of attraction is much lesser in liquids.
3. In gases the molecules are much far apart as the intermolecular force of attraction between the gas molecules can be neglected, so inter-molecular space is minimum.

Hence, the intermolecular space is minimum in gases.
