Avg score: 0% • Most missed: “Large intermolecular forces in a substance are manifested by __________.”
Intermolecular forces are forces of attraction or repulsion between particles in solids, liquids, and gases. They are also called van der Waals forces.  Here are some ways intermolecular forces vary in solids, liquids, and gases: Solids: Have the strongest intermolecular forces because their particles are tightly packed. This makes solids incompressible and dense. Liquids: Have intermolecular forces that hold the molecules in contact, but are not strong enough to keep them in fixed positions. The particles in liquids are looser than in solids, so the force of attraction is higher than in... Show more
