Question

question 26 of 28 how do forces between particles in solids compare to forces in the other states of matter? a. the forces in solids are weaker than forces in liquids and gases. b. the forces in solids are stronger than forces in liquids and gases. c. the forces in solids are stronger than forces in liquids but weaker than forces in gases. d. the forces in solids are weaker than forces in liquids but stronger than forces in gases.

Explanation:

In the particle theory of matter, intermolecular forces are strongest in solids, weaker in liquids, and weakest in gases. Solids have the strongest particle forces compared to liquids and gases.

Answer:

B. The forces in solids are stronger than forces in liquids and gases.
