Intermolecular forces in solids are strongest than in liquids and gases. Gases have the least strong intermolecular forces. Intermolecular forces are weak and are significant over short distances between molecules (determined by Coulomb’s law). The farther away from the molecules the weaker the intermolecular forces. Since molecules in solids are the closest, the intermolecular force between them as the strongest. Conversely, since gas molecules are farthest apart, the intermolecular forces between them are the weakest.
Answer:
The metallic elements have more metallic characteristcis.
Explanation:
- Metallic character is the name given to a set of common properties shared by the metallic elements.
- Metallic luster, high density, high electric and thermal conductivity are some physical properties associated with metallic characters.
- Malleability and ductility is also an important metallic characteristic.
- Generally the metals are hard and dense.
- The elements on the left hand side of the periodic table show metallic characteristics except hydrogen.
True
Density = mass/volume
Suppose that a block has a mass of 20 g and a volume of 20 cm^3.
Density = 20 g/20 cm^3 = 1 g/cm^3
Now, you cut the block in half. The half-block has a mass of 10 g and a volume of 10 cm^3.
The density of the half-block is
Density = 10 g/10 cm^3 = 1 g/cm^3
The density <em>stays the same</em>, even though the size of the sample has changed.
Because they usually are weak.

Answer : The structure are shown below and the number of stereoisomers are possible in 3,5-dimethylnonane and 3,7-dimethyle-5-ethyldecane are 4 and 8 respectively.
Explanation :
Chiral carbon : It is carbon which is attached to the different types of atoms or molecules.
The number of stereoisomers possible for a compound is related to the number of chiral centers (n) present in it as,
where,
'n' is the number of chiral carbon present in the compound.
The number of chiral carbon present in 3,5-dimethylnonane is, 2 that means n = 2 (carbon-3 and carbon-5)
The number of stereoisomers are possible in 3,5-dimethylnonane is, 4
The number of chiral carbon present in 3,7-dimethyle-5-ethyldecane is, 3 that means n = 3 (carbon-3, carbon-5 and carbon-7)
The number of stereoisomers are possible in 3,7-dimethyle-5-ethyldecane is, 8
