Explain the rigidity and intermolecular forces of the three states of matter.
Intermolecular forces are forces of attraction or repulsion that arise between the molecules of a substance.
Rigidity is the property of matter which helps it to retain its shape when force is applied to it.
We know that the three states of matter are: Solid, Liquid, and Gas.
Characteristics | Solids | Liquids | Gases |
Intermolecular forces | Strong | Less strong | Weak |
Rigidity | Yes | No | No |
Intermolecular spaces | Minimum | More than solids | Maximum |
