Question 37
Structure of Matter and Kinetic TheoryThe differences observed in solids, liquids and gases may be accounted for by
- A.their relative masses.
- B.their melting points.
- C.the different molecules in each of them.
- D.the spacing and forces acting between the molecules.
Show the answer and explanation
Answer: D (the spacing and forces acting between the molecules.)
Explanation
By kinetic theory, solids, liquids and gases differ in how far apart their molecules are and how strongly they attract each other.
