How do intermolecular forces (IF) and internal kinetic energy (KE) compare in gases?

IF = 0, KE is large
IF < KE
IF ≥ KE
IF > KE
Please help me!

Answer:

IF < KE

Step-by-step explanation:

The kinetic energy of the gas is greater than the intermolecular forces making the molecules have room to move around without disruption. In a lot of gases, there are sometimes no intermolecular forces between all the particles.

Best of Luck!
