Question

The more the space between the particles of a substance, more is the force of attraction between them.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B

False

The force of attraction between two particles is inversely proportional to the distance between them. So, if the particles of a substance has a larger distance between them, lower will be the force of attraction between them.

For example, the distance between the particles is smaller in solids than gases. But the force of attraction between the particles in solids is greater than that in liquids.

Order of distance between particles in various states:

Solid < Liquid < Gas

Order of force of attraction between particles in different states:

Solid > Liquid > Gas
