Which of the following is true about gaseous state (a) Thermal energy = Molecular attraction (b) Thermal energy >> Molecular attraction (c) Thermal energy << Molecular attraction (d) Molecular forces >> Those in liquids
Thermal energy or internal energy as the kinetic energy involved in random molecular motion together with the potential energy stored in molecular attractions. It is very high for gaseous phase. There are attractive forces in between particles called intermolecular forces.
