How do forces between particles in solids compare to forces in the other states of matter?

Solid particles are closer together than liquid particles. Compare the intermolecular forces between solids and liquids. Gases are less dense and solids are more dense

Answer:

In liquids the particles are loosely packed and in gases it is very loosely packed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The average kinetic energy of a particles is greater in gases to overcome the forces.

In solids it is very less kinetic energy and it is very difficult to overcome the forces between the particles.

Gases are less thick and solids are progressively thick.

Hence the particles are in fixed position and it is tightly packed in a solid.
