Question

The inter-particle force ____________ with increase in the distance between the particles

• A. decreases
• B. increases
• C. remains the same
• D. first increases then decreases

Answer 1

The correct option is A

decreases

The force of attraction between the particles which binds them together is known as cohesion force. The inter-particle forces of attraction are maximum when the particles are close together. As the distance between the particles of matter increase, particles are away from each other, which leads to low attraction, leading to decrease in inter-particle force. hence option (a0 is the correct answer
