Assertion : Dipole - dipole forces acting between the molecules posses

1.	Assertion : Dipole - dipole forces acting between the molecules possessing permanent dipole , are weaker than ion - ion interactions .Reason : The attractive forces decrease with the increase of distance between the dipoles .
Answer» If both assertion and reason are TRUE and reason is the correct explanation of assertion . If both assertion and reason are true but reason is notthe correct explanation of assertion . If assertion is true but reason is false . If both assertion and reason are false . Solution :Ends of the dipoles possess 'partial charges' which are ALWAYS less than the UNIT ELECTRONIC charge `(1.6xx10^(-19)C)` present in ions. Thus, dipole-dipole forces are weaker than ion-ion interactions.
