Question

Write true or false for the following statement

The intermolecular force is the force of attraction between the constituent particles in any form of matter.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

The intermolecular force is the force of attraction between the constituent particles in any form of matter. This is a true statement.

The explanation for a true statement

1. The forces of attraction and repulsion that act between nearby particles are known as intermolecular forces (atoms, molecules, or ions ). In comparison to intramolecular forces like covalent or ionic bonds between atoms in a molecule, these forces are weak.
2. In all states of matter, intermolecular forces exist. In solids, they are the highest, and in gases, they are the lowest. The structure of a substance is determined by intermolecular forces.
