Intermolecular forces determine if a substance is a solid,liquid or gas at room temperature.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Intermolecular forces are the forces of attraction or repulsion between molecules. At room temperature, substances with strong intermolecular forces tend to be solids, while those with weaker intermolecular forces tend to be liquids or gases. Therefore, intermolecular forces determine the state of matter of a substance at room temperature.
