Which has stronger attractions among its submicroscopic particles: a solid at
Which one out of solid at
Answer to Problem 8TE
Solid at
Explanation of Solution
Forces of attraction in any kind of matter depends upon the distance between the molecules of matter. In solids the distance is least between adjacent molecules and hence the forces of attraction between them are maximum. Such high force of attraction among molecules are the reason why the solids are rigid in nature.
In gases molecules are far apart resulting in negligible forces of attraction among the molecules giving them very high fluidity (that is why we are able to move in atmosphere filled with gases).
Conclusion:
Therefore, molecules of solid at
