Question

Why do solids, liquids and gases differ in their physical states?

Answer 1

(b) Solids, liquids and gases differ in their intermolecular force of attraction and intermolecular gaps; therefore, they differ in their physical state

Solid	Liquid	Gas
intermolecular force of attraction is very strong	intermolecular force of attraction is weaker than solids.	intermolecular force of attraction is weakest.
intermolecular space is almost negligible.	intermolecular gaps are larger than solids.	intermolecular space between the molecules is largest
