Which of the following options indicates the relative randomness of molecules in the three states of matter?
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is D Gas > liquid > solid
Gas > liquid > solid
Gas particles have the highest kinetic energy, hence, the randomness is highest in gas as molecules of a gas are far apart from each other.
The liquid particles interaction with each other, due to which liquid has lesser randomness than a gas.
The solid particles are very closely packed to each other, and cannot move here and there, hence, the solids have least kinetic energy.
Hence, the correct option is D.
