Which one has the strongest intermolecular forces?
Correct answer: C. Solids
- A. Plasma
- B. Gases
- C. Solids
- D. Liquids
Explanation
Solids have the strongest intermolecular forces out of these because their molecules are closely packed as possess vibrational energies only. Hence, they are incompressible and have high densities. The strength of intermolecular forces decreases from solid to liquid to gas.

About Kinetic Molecular Theory
Kinetic molecular theory explains gases as rapidly moving particles separated by large distances, with negligible volume and negligible intermolecular attraction in the ideal model. It relates temperature to average kinetic energy and explains gas pressure, Boyle's and Charles's laws, diffusion, effusion and the conditions under which real gases deviate from ideal behavior.
