Explain the interconversion of three states of matter in terms of force of attraction and kinetic energy of the molecules

  1. Explain the interconversion of three states of matter in terms of force of attraction and kinetic energy of the molecules.
  2. Arrange the three states of matter in the increasing order of rate of diffusion and particle motion.
  1. During the interconversion of a solid into a liquid and liquid into gas on increasing temperature, the kinetic energy of the molecules increases and force of attraction among molecules decreases and vice-versa.
    • Rate of diffusion, solid < liquid < gas
    • Particles motion, solid < liquid < gas.
