Intermolecular forces are forces of attraction and repulsion between interacting particles that will include: Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
- A, B, C, D are correct
- A, B, C, E are correct
- A, C, D, E are correct
- B, C, D, E are correct
Answer
(2) A, B, C, E are correct
Solution
Intermolecular forces act between separate molecules: dipole-dipole forces (A), dipole-induced dipole forces (B), hydrogen bonding (C) and dispersion (London) forces (E).
A covalent bond (D) is a strong bond within a molecule (intramolecular), so it is not an intermolecular force.
A, B, C and E are correct.
Answer: (2)
