The correct statements (s) about intermolecular forces is(are)

  1. A The potential energy between two point charges approaches zero more rapidly than the potential energy between a point dipole and a point charge as the distance between them approaches infinity.
  2. B The average potential energy of two rotating polar molecules that are separated by a distance \(r\) has \(1 / r^3\) dependence.
  3. C The dipole-induced dipole average interaction energy is independent of temperature.
  4. D Nonpolar molecules attract one another even though neither has a permanent dipole moment.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Nonpolar molecules attract one another even though neither has a permanent dipole moment.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(i) Ion - Ion \(\rightarrow\) Interaction energy \(\propto \frac{1}{r}\)
Ion - dipole \(\rightarrow\) Interaction energy \(\propto \frac{1}{r^2}\)
Ion - dipole Interaction energy approaches zero more rapidly as ' \(r\) ' increases
(ii) Rotating Polar molecules \(\rightarrow\) Interaction energy \(\propto \frac{1}{\mathrm{r}^6}\).
(iii) Dipole - induced dipole forces are independent of temperature.
(iv) Non-polar species show London dispersion forces.
