Solution

The correct option is D

Copper


The intermolecular force of attraction: It is defined as the force of attraction which exists between molecules of a substance.

Correct option(D) Copper

Copper exists in solid form.

The Solid-state of matter has the strongest intramolecular attraction.

The atoms of solid-state material are locked together strongly.

Therefore, it can be concluded that maximum intermolecular forces of attraction exist in solid material.

And solid-state material is copper.

Incorrect options

Option(A) Bromine

Bromine exists in a liquid state.

Liquid has less intermolecular force of attraction in comparison to solids.

Option(B) Air

Air is a form of gas.

The intermolecular forces of attraction between gaseous particles are the least.

Option(C) Oxygen

It also exists as a gas and therefore intermolecular forces of attraction are the least.

Hence, option(D) is correct.
