Question

If intermolecular distance increases, the intermolecular force ________.

Answer 1

• Intermolecular distance- It is the distance between two molecules or particles present in the matter.
• Intermolecular force- It is the force of attraction acting between the particles of matter.
• Intermolecular force is reciprocal to intermolecular distance i.e., as the distance between particles increases the force of attraction between them decreases and vice-versa.

Hence, If intermolecular distance increases, the intermolecular force decreases.
