The molecules...

Question

The molecules are at a _____________ distance in gases in comparison to liquid

Open in App

Solution

Gases have minimum inter-particle force of attraction as compared to solid and liquid, therefore particles are far apart from each other.
Concluding Statement:- Due to weaker inter-particle force of attraction in gases, the molecules/particles are at greater distance as compared to solids and liquids.
