The relative strength of the interionic/ intermolecular forces in a decreasing order is:
Options
- Adipole-dipole > ion-dipole > ion-ion
- Bion-dipole > ion-ion > dipole-dipole
- Cion-dipole > dipole-dipole > ion-ion
- Dion-ion > ion-dipole > dipole-dipole
Correct answer
D. ion-ion > ion-dipole > dipole-dipole
Step-by-step solution
Interionic/intermolecular forces ∝ charge present on species As ions are charged while dipole is only partially charged so the relative strength of interionic/intermolecular forces in decreasing order is: Ion-Ion > Ion-Dipole > Dipole-Dipole
