    Solution:

    The above statement is false.
    The interparticle distance is the space between atoms and molecules in matter. The solids have fixed shapes and volumes, which are not compressible. The particles in a solid are closely packed and do not move. Instead, they oscillate or vibrate around their mean position. The vital force of attraction between the particles holds them together at a fixed position. Therefore, the interparticle distance in solids is minimum, and they have minimum kinetic energy.
    The corrected statement would be, “Interparticle distance in solids is minimum”.
