State in which of the following examples the force of attraction between particl

State in which of the following examples the force of attraction between particles of matter is almost negligible.

  • A. Piece of stone
  • B. Water droplets
  • C. A light gas
  • D. All of the above

Step-by-step solution

In gases, particles are far apart and the intermolecular forces of attraction are very weak, often considered negligible. Among the options, a light gas (like hydrogen or helium) has almost negligible forces compared to solids (stone) or liquids (water droplets). Thus, option C is correct.
