Question
Chapter 12, Problem 2E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The statement “existence of solids and liquids if there are no cohesive forces present” is to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Intermolecular forces or cohesive forces keep the molecules or atoms combined together.
Intermolecular forces depend upon the type of molecules or atoms present in the substance and the distance of separation between them.

Students have asked these similar questions
What are intermolecular forces and how they are different than true bonding?
Cohesion happens between all molecules in a liquid, but because the molecules in the middle of the droplet pull each equally in all directions they generally cancel each out. This strong inward force causing molecules on the surface to contract and resist being pulled apart. This is known as surface tension.
Based on this information. Answer the question .
What type of attractive forces exist between all molecules?
