Take “r” as the distance between two molecules. The energy between stationary polar molecules is proportional to ____________in the case of dipole-dipole intercations.(a) 1/r^3(b) r^3(c) r^2(d) 1/r^2This question was addressed to me in an online quiz.Origin of the question is States of Matter topic in division States of Matter of Chemistry – Class 11

Answer»

The CORRECT choice is (a) 1/r^3

The best explanation: The energy between TWO POLAR molecules which are stationary, is inversely proportional to the cube of the distance between the molecules, in the CASE of dipole-dipole intercations. This interaction is stronger than the London forces.
