Solution

  • Gases have no definite shape nor definite volume because the molecules of gases are loosely packed
  • As They have weak intermolecular forces of attraction because the particles are far away from each other and that’s why they have large intermolecular spaces between the molecules.

Thus, the intermolecular forces are small in the case of gases because intermolecular spaces are too large.
