In which substance do the molecules have the strongest attractions to one another?
a. sugar, a solid
c. sulfuric acid, a liquid
b. hydrogen, a gas
d. water, a liquid
The substance that the molecules have the strongest
attractions to one another is the sugar,
a solid. The answer is letter A. The solid has a more definite shape and
volume. The particles are locked into place. It cannot be further compressed
due to the bond that exists between the molecules. The kinetic energy of the
molecules is close to none because the molecules are so close and so compact
with each other.
