Question

What is the relationship between thermal energy and intermolecular interaction energy of a substance in three states in terms of X and Y?

Gas $\rightarrow$ Liquid $\rightarrow$

• A. X-Thermal energy, Y-Intermolecular interactions
• B. X-Thermal energy, Y-Thermal energy
• C. X-Intermolecular interactions, Y-Thermal energy
• D. X-Intermolecular interactions, Y-Intermolecular interactions

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

X-Intermolecular interactions, Y-Thermal energy

Answer 2

: Intermolecular interactions increases from gas to solid. Thermal energy converts solids to liquids and liquids to gases.
