Everything in our surroundings is considered to be matter and all types of matter are composed of particles. Now, in a matter, these particles are held together by intermolecular forces of attraction that keep the particles together and knitting.

In general, the increasing order of strength of intermolecular forces is-

Gases < Liquids < Solids.

Now, a Sponge, a wooden table, and a piece of chalk are all types of solid but still, a wooden table is the hardest and not easy to break off as compared to a sponge and chalk. Thus, the wooden table has the strongest force of attraction between its particles.
