How is the attraction between particles of a liquid?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Less than solid and more than gas

The direct answer is B: attraction is less than in a solid and more than in a gas. Particles in every substance attract one another, but the strength of attraction differs. In a solid, particles are very close and held strongly, so they mainly vibrate in fixed positions. In a liquid, particles remain fairly close but can move past one another, showing intermediate attraction. In a gas, particles are far apart and attraction is very weak. Therefore the usual order is solid greater than liquid greater than gas. Option A reverses the comparison with a solid and is wrong. Option B gives the correct order. Option C is wrong because liquid particles do attract one another; zero attraction would not explain liquid cohesion. Option D is wrong because attraction is not always infinite; liquid particles can flow and take the shape of their container. Memory cue: stronger attraction means less freedom of movement: solid, then liquid, then gas.
