The relative strength of interionic/intermolecular forces in decreasing order is
Options
- Aion-dipole > dipole-dipole > ion-ion
- Bdipole-dipole > ion-dipole > ion-ion
- Cion-ion > ion-dipole > dipole-dipole
- Dion-dipole > ion-ion > dipole-dipole
Correct answer
C. 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
