Properties of Matter

1. The force with which two molecules attract each other is called the intermolecular force.  

2. The space between two molecules is known as the intermolecular space.  

3. Liquids take the shape of their container because the intermolecular force of attraction is weaker, allowing molecules to move freely within the liquid.  

4. Gases and liquids are called fluids because they can flow.  

5. The intermolecular force of attraction is maximum in solids, lesser in liquids, and least in gases.  

6. Matter has mass and occupies space.
