Chemistry
The intermolecular force of attraction is the strongest in:
- solids
- liquids
- gases
- none of the above
Answer
solids
Reason — In solids, the intermolecular forces of attraction are the strongest, which is why the molecules are packed tightly together.
In liquids, the forces are moderate, allowing particles to slide past each other. In gases, the forces are very weak or negligible, so particles move freely.
