Question

What is interparticle space

Open in App
Solution

Interparticle space: Interparticle space is the space between atoms and molecules in matter.

The solid state of matter has the least interparticle space due to the strong intermolecular force of attraction while the gaseous state has the largest intermolecular space due to the weak intermolecular force of attraction.

For example: If we mix oxygen and nitrogen gas, then the space between the molecule of oxygen gas and that of nitrogen gas is called interparticle space.
