Intermolecular distance is larger in _.
Correct answer: D. Liquids
- A. Ionic compounds
- B. Solids
- C. Covalent compounds
- D. Liquids
Explanation
The intermolecular distance is larger in liquids. Molecules of liquid have very less force of attraction between them.OPTION A: Ionic compound are solid in nature hence their inter molecular distance is very small.OPTION B: The molecules of solids are very close to each other and attract each other with a very high force of attraction.OPTION C: Covalently bonded molecules also have a very small distance between each other.OPTION D: The intermolecular distance is larger in liquids. Molecules of liquid have very less force of attraction between them.

About Properties of Liquids
Liquid behavior depends on intermolecular forces, which produce surface tension, viscosity, capillary action and a definite volume without a fixed shape. The topic also covers vapor pressure, evaporation, boiling point and the effect of temperature and external pressure, while distinguishing evaporation at the surface from boiling throughout the liquid.
