Question

Which of the following is true about gaseous state?
A.Thermal energy = Molecular attraction
B.Thermal energy >> Molecular attraction
C.Thermal energy << Molecular attraction
D.Molecular forces >> Those in liquids

Answer 1

In this question we will be learning about the concept of Thermal Energy and Molecular attraction in gases. How the Thermal Energy and Molecular attraction show their impact on the particles of gaseous compounds.

Complete answer:
In a gas all the molecules are far from each other hardly any force of attraction is there in between the particles of a gaseous particle. And, also the molecules inside the gas move very randomly and in a very unexpected direction. Hence, gas atoms have high energy and low power of attraction as their molecules are exceptionally far so:
Thermal energy >> Molecular attraction in a gaseous state

Thus, the correct option is B.

Note:
Thermal Energy, otherwise called random or internal Kinetic Energy, because of the arbitrary movement of atoms in a system. Thermal energy is straightforwardly corresponding to the temperature inside a given system.
IMFs are the different powers of attraction that may exist between the particles and atoms of a substance because of electrostatic phenomena. These powers serve to hold particles near one another, while the particles' KE gives the energy needed to beat the attractive forces and in this way increment the separation between particles.
