Solution

The correct option is B False
The intermolecular interactions in solids are extremely strong, and the constituent particles are tightly packed. Solids are incompressible and have a high density for this reason.
The intermolecular interactions in liquids are strong enough to hold particles together but not strong enough to keep them in stable locations. This is why liquids have no defined structure and can flow.
So, the intermolecular forces of attraction in liquids are not as strong as that in solids.
Therefore, the given statement is false.
