Question

The kinetic energy of molecules of liquids is _______ than the kinetic energy of molecules of gases.

Open in App

Solution

The kinetic energy of molecules of liquids is less than the kinetic energy of molecules of gases because the intermolecular force of attraction is higher in the case of liquids whereas the intermolecular force of attraction is least in the case of gases.
