If the intermolecular space is reduced then it won't be able to move freely and it also won't be highly compressible

State of matter having maximum intermolecular space?

gas


Why does the water vapor take up more space than liquid?

The intermolecular bonds in a gas are very weak and the gas can easily expand.


Why does a certain amount of moles of water occupy much more space as a gas than as a liquid?

Intermolecular forces between the molecules of a gas are not strong enough to hold the gas molecules together therefore they break down taking more space.


What happens to particles in a gas?

Particles are spread out to the maximum of the space available.


How gas forms?

A gas is formed from molecules with intermolecular forces near zero.

what happens to a gas as pressure is reduced?

When the pressure of a gas is reduced it gets colder.


Why is it easy to move through a gas?

because the particles in a gas have very less intermolecular force between them and great intermolecular space. so its very easy to move through it


How will you show that by applying pressure particles of matter can be brought close together?

by applying pressure the particles of matter come and the intermolecular space between them shorten and they change their state from gas to liquid and the intermolecular space between the particles of liquid is more than that of gas.

What happens to the intermolecular spaces when some energy is removed from a gas or liquid it decreases it increases it is not affected or increases and decreases alternatively?

By removing energy, what you mean is reducing temperature. A gas or liquid will contract as it gets colder, and intermolecular spaces will decrease.

What happens to gas when pressure is applied to it?

the pressure and the temperature increases, and the volume is reduced.


What state of matter fills all the space available?

In the gas state of matter the molecules are moving too fast to stick to other molecules. Because they are free floating the molecules expand to fill all of the space available.


What happens when you force gas into a smaller space?

it might explode if you put it in a smaller space.


How can we reduce pressure?

Pressure in a glass can be reduced by either decreasing the amount of the gas in a finite space, or by increasing the volume of the finite space.


How can pressure change a liquid into a solid?

Liquid changes to gas when pressure is reduced and temperature is increased. When pressure on liquid is reduced, the inter molecular space increases and temperature increases the kinetic energy of the atoms. This changes liquid to gaseous state
