What is the relationship between intermolecular forces and kinetic energy? Directly related or inversely related? (ie. as kinetic energy increases, do intermolecular forces increase or decrease?)
When kinetic energy increases, intermolecular forces decrease.
Intermolecular forces is inversely proportional to distance between particles, more will be distance between particles , less will be Intermolecular forces.
when kinetic energy increases then paricles will move far apart from each other. So distance between particle increase so intermolecular force decrease.
