Question
Particles are closely spaced.
- Solid
- Liquid
- Gas
- Non-matter
Hint:
Strong intermolecular forces of attraction mean particles are very closely packed.
The correct answer is: Solid
- Shape and size depend on intermolecular forces of attraction and intermolecular space.
- In solids intermolecular forces of attraction are high and they have a rigid shape, particles are very closely packed.
- In liquids intermolecular forces of attraction are intermediate and liquids take up the shape of the container in which it is kept, intermolecular space is intermediate.
- In gases intermolecular forces of attraction are negligible they do not have any shape.
