Force of attraction limit the motion of particles most in a solid a liquid a gas both liquid and gas?

Answer 1

The forces are referred to as intermolecular forces, a substances tendency for its molecules to attract to eachother. The stronger these forces are, the more likely a substance will find itself to be solid at room temperature. The reason for this is that the attraction to its own molecules is great enough that the individual particles kinetic energies are not enough to break the intermolecular force. If the IMF is weak, the substance is more likely to be a liquid or even a gas because the attraction to its own molecules is not enough to overcome the particles kinetic energies.

In addition the larger a substances chemical structure is, the more surface area available for a molecule to interact and thus the IMFs are stronger,

Examples of substances with strong IMFs: Water, NaCl, ethanol, amines

Examples of substances with weak IMFs: aliphatic hydrocarbons ( propane ), acetone, ether

Answer 2

Forces of attraction limit the motion of particles most in a solid. A solid that forms and separates from a liquid mixture is a precipitate.

Answer 3

The forces of attraction are strongest in a solid hence motion of solids is least. The attraction holds particles in an almost stationary position

Answer 4

Solids do not flow. The particles in a solid cannot change places so a solid will keep its shape (unless it is broken).
