Molecules of a substance have a very low level of attraction in the solid state..TRUe OR FALSE?

im sry but its bothering me ! i think i t does...wut do u think?Molecules of a substance have a very low level of attraction in the solid state..TRUe OR FALSE?
false....the gaseous state has the lowest levels of attraction. (the molecules are the farthest apart in that state)...in solid state there are metallic or ionic bonds as well as Van Der Waals forces holding the mass together.Molecules of a substance have a very low level of attraction in the solid state..TRUe OR FALSE?
this is gonna be false. if u have a solid, then that means that the molecules in the substance are going to stick togehter and not move, thus making it a solid. If it has to stick together that much, then the molecules must have a high level of attraction, not a low level of attraction. in liquids, the attraction between molecules is not that high, causing molecules to slip past eacher and move around a lot. and gas molecules basically have no attraction at all.
fasle





molecular levels of attraction go from solid (highest) to gas (lowest)
False. Come on, think about it. If they had little attraction, what would hold solid objects together? Low attraction would make a gas.
