In which of the following substances the interparticle forces of attraction are the strongest.
In which of the following substances the interparticle forces of attraction are the strongest.
The correct option is C Honey
An explanation for the correct option:
(C) The intermolecular force can be defined as the force of attraction between the molecules of a substance
Honey has stronger intermolecular attractive interactions than other options. As the particles in honey are more tightly bonded than in water. As a result, honey has a higher viscosity than water. Thus, the higher viscosity of honey resists the motion of honey.
The explanation for the incorrect option:
A Sodium chloride (NaCl) though solid but has Coulomb attractions between the oppositely-charges ions.
B Ink being liquid it cannot have the highest force of attraction.
D Carbon dioxide () being a gas its interparticle force of attraction cannot be highest.
Hence the correct option is C.
