1.	If the inter - molicule potential energy is minimum at separation R0 what prevents the molecules ofa a substance from collasping to the condensed state ?
Answer» Solution :When the DISTANCE between the molecules becomes less then Rthe FORCES between the molecules become STRONG REPULSIVE which prevent them from collapsing to the condensed state .
