Write true or false for the below statement:

The intermolecular forces are effective at all distances between the two molecules.

Open in App

Solution

The statement is false.

Explanation:

The force of attraction between the constituent particles of matter is called intermolecular force of attraction. If the distance between the particles increases, the intermolecular force decreases. Thus, at larger distances, force is negligible. Hence, the statement is false.
