(N/A) $(i)$ Liquid: In the liquid state,the intermolecular forces are weaker than in solids,allowing the layers of particles to slip and slide over one another,which gives liquids their property of fluidity.
$(ii)$ Gaseous: In the gaseous state,the intermolecular forces of attraction are negligible,allowing particles to move randomly and freely in all directions at high speeds.
