Which of the following is true about gaseous state?

Options

A. Thermal energy `=` Molecular attraction
B. Thermal energy `gtgt` Molecular attraction
C. Thermal energy `ltlt` Molecular attraction
D. Molecular forces `gtgt` Those in liquids

Explanation

To determine which statement is true about the gaseous state, we will analyze each option step by step.

### Step 1: Analyze the first statement
**Statement 1:** Thermal energy is equal to molecular attraction.

- In the gaseous state, the thermal energy (kinetic energy due to motion) is not equal to the molecular attraction (intermolecular forces). In fact, the kinetic energy of gas particles is much greater than the forces attracting them to each other.

**Conclusion:** This statement is **false**.
