Which of the following exhibits the most molecular interactions?

  • A. Solid
  • B. Liquid
  • C. Gas
  • D. None of the above
Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Solid.' In solids, molecules are closely packed, leading to strong intermolecular forces and the highest number of molecular interactions among the given options. This close proximity results in strong attractions between molecules, creating a high number of interactions. In contrast, liquids have weaker intermolecular forces due to more freedom of movement among molecules, leading to fewer interactions compared to solids. Gases have the least molecular interactions as their molecules are widely dispersed and have minimal attraction to each other, resulting in the lowest number of interactions.
