What is the relationship between thermal energy and intermolecular interaction energy of a substance in three states in terms of $$X$$ and $$Y?$$
A.
$$X$$ - Thermal energy, $$Y$$ - Intermolecular interactions
B.
$$X$$ - Thermal energy, $$Y$$ - Thermal energy
C.
$$X$$ - Intermolecular interactions, $$Y$$ - Thermal energy
D.
$$X$$ - Intermolecular interactions, $$Y$$ - Intermolecular interactions
Answer :
$$X$$ - Intermolecular interactions, $$Y$$ - Thermal energy
Solution :
Intermolecular interactions increases from gas to solid. Thermal energy converts solids to liquids and liquids to gases.
Intermolecular interactions increases from gas to solid. Thermal energy converts solids to liquids and liquids to gases.
