Question

The intermolecular space between the molecules in gases is practically absent.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

• The forces that exist between the particles of any substance are called intermolecular forces.
• The intermolecular force of attraction in gases is very weak, so the intermolecular space between the molecules of gases is more as compared to solid and liquid.
• Due to this the molecules in gases are very far away from each other and are free to move.
• The intermolecular force is the strongest in solids. So, the intermolecular space between the molecules in solids is practically absent.

Therefore, the statement the intermolecular space between the molecules in gases is practically absent is false.
