The density of water is 1000 $kg m ^{-3}$. The density of water vapour at $100^{\circ} C$ and $1 atm$ pressure is $0.6 kg m ^{-3}$. The volume of a molecule multiplied by the total number gives , what is called, molecular volume. The ratio (or fraction) of the molecular volume to the total volume occupied by the water vapour under the above conditions of temperature and pressure is $6 \times 10^{-4}$. The volume of a water molecule is $3 \times 10^{-29} m ^3$. What is the average distance between atoms (interatomic distance) in water?
