Concept explainers
Interpretation ; Intermolecular forces to be explained among the given diagram.
Concept introduction:
The intermolecular forces are the forces of attraction or forces of repulsion between the molecules and other types of the neighboring molecules
Answer to Problem 3STP
Correct answer: Option B is correct.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for correct option:
Here intermolecular forces are weakest due to weakest force of attraction or repulsion between the molecules in this diagram. In the diagram the molecules are so far with each other so there is lack of force of attraction or repulsion between them.
Reasons for incorrect options:
A. Molecules are so close to each other so there is strong force of attraction or repulsion between them.
C. Molecules are close to each other as compared to diagram B .so there is strong force of attraction or repulsion between them as compared to other.
D. Molecules are close to each other as compared to diagram B .so there is strong force of attraction or repulsion between them as compared to other.
