Question

Water at room temperature is a liquid because

• A. Intermolecular forces between the water molecules are weak.
• B. Intermolecular spaces among the water molecules are less.
• C. The kinetic energy among the water molecules is less.
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Intermolecular forces between the water molecules are weak.

Water remains a liquid at room temperature because of the following reasons:

1. Intermolecular forces between the water molecules are weak.
2. Intermolecular spaces and kinetic energy among the water molecules are more.
