Which matter has more attraction between the particles

There are spaces between particles of matter. The average amount of empty space between molecules gets progressively larger as a sample of matter moves from the solid to the liquid and gas phases. There are attractive forces between atoms/molecules, and these become stronger as the particles move closer together.

we can conclude that the melting point of table salt is above room temperature (it's actually 801 deg c). the melting point of mercury must be below room temperature (- 39 deg c).

idk what the question is about
