Question

Water molecules are listed from A to B to C in

Answer 1

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A state of matter where molecules are held together by strong intermolecular forces of attraction are known as solid substances. As a result, they are unable to move from their initial place but they can vibrate at their mean position.  

Hence, in solid substances the molecules have low kinetic energy.

In liquids, the molecules are held by less strong intermolecular forces of attraction as compared to solids. Due to which they are able to slide past each other. Hence, they have medium kinetic energy.

In gases, the molecules are held by weak Vander waal forces. Hence, they have high kinetic energy due to which they move rapidly from one place to another leading to more number of collisions.

Thus, we can conclude that water molecules are listed from A to B to C in least to greatest motion.

Answer 2

The answer is B. You are correct.
