Question

The inter-molecular spaces in case of liquids are

• A. less than solids
• B. more than gases
• C. more than the solids and less than the gases
• D. more than the solids and gases

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

more than the solids and less than the gases

Particles in a solid are closely packed and only have vibratory motion.
Particles in a liquid have little free space between them but can move about and slide past each other
Particles in a gas are highly separated and have lots of space between them.
=> the intermolecular spaces in liquids are more than the solids and less than the gases
