Which of the following has negligible intermolecular space between its molecules?
- Gas
- Solid
- Liquid
- Atom
Answer
Solid
Reason — The molecules in a solid are tightly packed, i.e., the intermolecular distance among the molecules is the least whereas the molecules in a liquid are not very tightly packed, hence the intermolecular distance is moderate and the molecules in a gas are loosely packed, i.e., the intermolecular distance is the maximum.
