Liquid. The liquid state lies between the gaseous and the solid state. The cohesive (attractive) forces between the liquid particles are strong enough to keep them together but not to keep them in a fixed position.
When atoms are drawn together by attractive forces, their potential energy decreases. This decrease in potential energy is a result of the atoms moving closer together against the attractive forces between them.
You think probable to a liquid.
In a solid, molecules are closely packed together in a fixed position. They vibrate in place but do not have enough energy to overcome the attractive forces holding them together. This gives solids a definite shape and volume.
London dispersion forces (also known as van der Waals forces) hold molecular solids together. or Intermolecular forces
In physics, attractive forces pull objects together, while repulsive forces push them apart. These forces determine how objects interact with each other and can affect the behavior of particles and objects in the universe.
At room temperature, the greatest attractive forces exist between particles of solids because the particles are closely packed together and have strong intermolecular forces such as Van der Waals forces or hydrogen bonding.
Attractive forces holding solute particles together must be broken
keep them from position is a inter molecular bond
When a liquid releases enough energy, it can evaporate and turn into a gas. This process is called vaporization, where the molecules in the liquid gain enough energy to overcome the attractive forces holding them together as a liquid and escape into the surrounding environment.
Once molecules become close enough to touch, intermolecular forces become repulsive. This is what prevents one molecule from overlapping another. Intermolecular forces pull molecules together at a long range and hold them apart at short range.
