Question
- substance a is a gas, substance b is a liquid and substance c is a solid. all of the substances are at the same temperature and pressure. which of the following shows the correct relationship of the strength of the intermolecular forces in each substance? clear all c > b > a c > a > b a > b > c b > a > c
In general, the strength of intermolecular forces is related to the state of matter. Solids have the strongest intermolecular forces (particles are closely packed and have limited movement), liquids have weaker intermolecular forces than solids (particles can move more freely than in solids but are still close - knit compared to gases), and gases have the weakest intermolecular forces (particles are far apart and move freely). So, for substance C (solid), substance B (liquid), and substance A (gas), the order of intermolecular force strength is \(C > B> A\).
