Each phase of matter can be described according to the relative amount of intermolecular forces (IF) holding the molecules together compared to the kinetic energy (KE) of those molecules. Match each of the following phases of matter to the proper description of its intermolecular forces and kinetic energy of molecules. options: Intermolecular forces much greater than the kinetic energy of the substance. Negligible intermolecular forces with a high degree of kinetic energy. Intermolecular forces (IF) present however, kinetic energy is slightly greater than the IF. 1. Gas 2. Liquid 3. Solid
