Q3.
Write true or false. Correct the false statements.

- The intermolecular force of attraction increases when intermolecular space increases.
- If the molecules in a substance have very large kinetic energies, which can completely overcome the intermolecular force of attraction between them, then the substance is a liquid.
- When a gas is cooled, its molecules lose energy and slow down.
- The force of attraction between the molecules of water and that of glass is the force of cohesion.
