Question

Dipole-Dipole forces are stronger than _______  and weaker than _________ interactions.

(a) dipole-induced dipole, london

(b) ion-ion, dispersion

(c) ion-ion, london

(d) london, ion-ion

I had been asked this question at a job interview.

This key question is from States of Matter in section States of Matter of Chemistry – Class 11

Answer 1

Correct choice is (d) london, ion-ion

For explanation I would say: Dipole-Dipole forces are stronger than London forces and weaker than ion-interactions. As only the partial charges are involved. London forces have no charges, and ion-ion forces have full charges.
