JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 - 4. Chemical bonding and molecular structure

The relative strength of interionic/ intermolecular forces in decreasing order is

  1. A ion-dipole > ion-ion > dipole-dipole
  2. B dipole-dipole > ion-dipole > ion-ion
  3. C ion-dipole > dipole-dipole > ion-ion
  4. D ion-ion > ion-dipole > dipole-dipole
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) ion-ion > ion-dipole > dipole-dipole

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Interionic\(/\) Intermolecular forces \(\propto\) charge on the species Ions are charged species whereas dipoles are partially charged. \(\therefore\) Ion-Ion \(\,>\,\) Ion-dipole \(\,>\,\) dipole-dipole Hence, option \(d\) is correct.
