Question

The solid has very small ________________ space and very large inter-molecular ____________.

• A. inter-molecular
• B. Forces

Answer 1

• In the case of solids, the molecules are very tightly packed.
• The intermolecular space between the molecules is very small.
• Thus, they have a very strong intermolecular force of attraction.
• Hence solids have a definite shape and definite volume.
• They cannot be compressed, on account of a very small force of attraction.

Hence, The solid has very small Intermolecular space and very large inter-molecular Forces.
