How does freezing change state of matters?
By definition, freezing is the change of a liquid to a solid. You see, in a liquid, the forces of attraction and repulsion between particles (atoms or molecules) are equal. Because of this, liquids are fluids (they take the shape of their containers and flow without changes in density). In solids, however, the forces of attraction between particles are greater than the forces of repulsion. Because of this, solids retain a specific shape and density. Therefore, when a liquid freezes, its particles loose part of the energy which supports the forces of repulsion, and the forces of attraction become grater, thus becoming a solid.
What is the invisible area where the forces of magnetic attraction or repulsion can be detected?
a magnetic field
What is the attraction and repulsion forces between subatomic particles?
attraction forces between the electrons of one atom and the nucleus of the other atom are balanced by the repulsive force caused by the two + charged nuclei as they are forced together~attractive forces have a little attraction for the atoms.
What is the meaning of the statement 'some forces can act over a distance rather than by contact' mean?
Forces such as electrostatic or magnetic attraction or repulsion, and that of gravitational attraction will act between two bodies even though the bodies are not in contact.
Is the nuclear force a force of attraction or repulsion or both?
It is only attractive in nature. I am not sure which nuclear force you talk about. Electrical forces of the nucleus are repulsive to the positively charged. There are "strong forces" and the like which are attractive.
What is forces two objects exert on each other is called an?
Electrostatic attraction or repulsion, magnetic attraction or repulsion, gravitational attraction.
Can a covalent bond form between an anion and a cation?
when forces of attraction overcome forces of repulsion
Which intermolecular force is the stongest?
forces of attraction or repulsion
What are inter particle forces of attraction?
Inter-particle force, also known intermolecular force, are forces of attraction and repulsion which act between neighboring particles. compared to intramolecular forces, they are a weak force.
What inter particle force means?
Inter particle forces are the forces which operate between particles. They may be forces of attraction, e.g. gravity, or repulsion, e.g. between two negative charges.

Electric force and its application?
an attraction or repulsion between electrically charged that opperates according to the law of electric forces charges and Coulomb's law of electric force
What type of forces are there between objects with the same charge?
They are the forces of repulsion.
