Answer:
There are strong intermolecular forces between particles that make up liquids, but not gases.
Explanation:
Solids, liquids and gases are the three states of matter that exists. However, they possess varying properties that distinguishes them from one another. One of these properties is the strength of the intermolecular forces that hold their molecules together.
The intermolecular forces of each state of matter becomes weak in this order: solid>liquid>gas.
- Intermolecular forces in solid molecules are very strong, hence making them compact and well attached to each other.
- Intermolecular forces in liquid molecules are not too strong, hence, cannot exist in a fixed position but tend to flow.
- Intermolecular forces in gaseous molecules are very weak, hence, gases can move easily and rapidly in any given space.
