Solution
The correct option is D
Hydrogen
Correct option is D: Hydrogen
Explanation for correct option:
Hydrogen is a gas.
There is no packing amongst the molecules of gases and intermolecular spaces are very large.
Explanation for incorrect option:
Gold: This is solid. In solids, atoms are closely packed and hence the intermolecular space is very less in solids. Hence, this option is incorrect.
Stainless steel: This is also solid. In solids, atoms are closely packed and hence the intermolecular space is very less in solids. Hence, this option is also incorrect.
Water: This is liquid. In liquids, molecules are loosely packed in compare to solid but still intermolecular space exists between molecules. Hence, this option is incorrect too.
