In the presence of ___________, gas is easily produced.
intermolecular energy
thermal energy
both intermolecular energy and thermal en energy
neither intermolecular energy nor thermal energy
When thermal energy predominates, gases are more likely to develop than liquids and solids. This occurs when heat energy separates molecules in a material.
Gases have the weakest intermolecular attraction. Gas molecules are loosely connected and separated from one another.
Intermolecular forces of attraction are the smallest in gases, whereas thermal energy is the greatest. Intermolecular forces of attraction are highest in solids, whereas thermal energy is lowest.
