If intermolecular potential energy has a minimum at some separation, r = r0, what is it that prevents all molecules of the given substance from collapsing to the condensed state, where every pair has separation equal to r0? |
|
Answer» As the separation tends to decrease, further, the force between molecules becomes strong repulsive, which prevents the molecules of the given substance from collapsing to the condensed state. |
