The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the statements are true, let's analyze each one step by step.
### Step 1: Analyze Statement (a)
**Statement (a):** Only type of interactions between particles of noble gases are due to weak dispersion forces.
**Solution:**
Noble gases are monoatomic and have a complete valence shell, which makes them chemically inert. The only type of intermolecular forces present in noble gases are London dispersion forces (weak dispersion forces). These forces arise due to temporary dipoles that occur when electron distributions around atoms fluctuate. Thus, this statement is **true**.
### Step 2: Analyze Statement (b)
**Statement (b):** Ionization enthalpy of molecular oxygen is very close to that of xenon.
**Solution:**
The ionization enthalpy of molecular oxygen (O₂) is approximately 1166 kJ/mol, while that of xenon (Xe) is about 1170 kJ/mol. Since these values are very close to each other, this statement is also **true**.
### Step 3: Analyze Statement (c)
**Statement (c):** Hydrolysis of XeF₆ is a redox reaction.
**Solution:**
When XeF₆ reacts with water, it produces xenon trioxide (XeO₃) and hydrofluoric acid (HF). In this reaction, the oxidation state of xenon remains +6 before and after the reaction (Xe in XeF₆ and Xe in XeO₃). Since there is no change in the oxidation states of xenon or the other elements involved, this is not a redox reaction. Therefore, this statement is **false**.
### Step 4: Analyze Statement (d)
**Statement (d):** Xenon fluorides are not reactive.
**Solution:**
Xenon is generally considered inert, but when it forms compounds with highly electronegative elements like fluorine, it can exhibit reactivity. Xenon fluorides, such as XeF₂, XeF₄, and XeF₆, are indeed reactive and can participate in chemical reactions. Thus, this statement is **false**.
### Final Summary of Statements:
- (a) True
- (b) True
- (c) False
- (d) False
### Conclusion:
The true statements are (a) and (b).

Between ionic and covalent bonds, there are large majority of bonds, in which the bonding electrons are shared unequally between two atoms but are not completely transferred.Such bonds are said to be polar covalent bonds and the bond polarity is due to difference in electronegativity, the ability of an atom in a molecule to attract the shared electrons in a covalent bond. The measure of net polarity is a quantity called the dipole moment, mu , which is defined as the magnitude of the charge Q at either end of the molecular dipole times the distance r between the charges : mu=Qxxr .Molecular polarities give rise to some of the forces that occur between molecules and these forces are of several different types including dipole-dipole forces, London dispersion forces, and hydrogen bonds. All these intermolecular forces are electrical in origin and result from the mutual attraction of unlike charges or the mutual repulsion of like charges. Which of the following statement is true ?
