Open in App
Solution
- Matter is composed of very small particles known as atoms and molecules.
- The constituent particles are identical in all respects.
- These particles have spaces or gaps between them, which are known as interparticle spaces or intermolecular spaces.
- There exists an intermolecular force of attraction between the particles of matter, which holds them together.
- Particles of matter are always in a state of random motion and possess kinetic energy, which increases with an increase in temperature and vice-versa.
