Question

The particles of _______________ have the maximum movement.

Answer 1

1. In gases, the particles are much farther apart from one another as compared to solids and liquids.
2. The spaces between the particles of a gas are very large.
3. The intermolecular force of attraction is inversely proportional to the intermolecular space.
4. This means that as the space between the molecules decreases, the intermolecular force of attraction increases, and vice versa.
5. Thus, the force of attraction between the particles of a gas is negligible.
6. So, the particles of a gas are free to move in any direction.

Thus, the particles of a gas have the maximum movement.
