Assertion (A) : Three states of matter are the result of balance between intermolecular forces and thermal energy of the molecules.
Reason (R ) : Intermolecular forces tend to keep the molecules together but thermal energy of molecules tends to keep them apart.

A

Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A

B

Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A

C

A is true but R is false.

D

A is false but R is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion. Intermolecular forces and thermal energy decides the state of matter as the former kept the molecules together but after some time, it keeps them apart.

    Viscosity of a liuquid arises due to strong intermolecular forces existing between the molecules. Stronger the intermolecular forces, greater is the viscosity. Name the intermolecular forces existing in the following liquids and arrange them in the increasing order of their viscosities. Also given reason for the assigned order in one line. Water, hexane (CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(3)) , glycerine (CH_(2)OH CH (OH) CH_(2) OH)

    Surafce tension is exhibited by liquids due to force of attraction between the molecules of the liquid .The surface tension decreases with increases in temperature and vanishes at boiling point Given that the latent heat of vaporization for water L_(v)=540(kcal)/(kg) the mechanical equivalent of heat J=4.2(J)/(cal) density of water rho_(w)=10^(3)kgl^(-1) ,Avogadro'sno. N_(A)=6.0xx10^(26)k " mole"^(-1) . Molecular weight of water M_(A)=10kg , for 1k mole . (a) Estimate the energy required for one molecule of water to evaporated. (b) Show that the inter molecular distance for water is d=((M_(A))/(N_(A))xx(1)/(rho_(w)))^((1)/(3)) and find its value. (c ) 1 g of water in the vapour state at 1 atm occupies 1601cm^(3) , estimate the intermolecular distance at boiling point in the vapour state. (d) During vaporisation a molecule overcomes a force F, assumed constant to go from an inter molecular distance d to d .Estimate the value of F. (e ) Caculate (F)/(d) , which is a measure of the surface tension.

    Use the information and data given below to answer the questions (a) to (c ), Stronger intermolecular forces result in higher boiling point. Strength of Lonson forces increases with the number of electrons in the molecule. Boiling point of HF, HCl, HBr and HI are 293 K, 189 K, 206 K and 238 K respectively ? Which type of intermolecular forces are present in the molecules HF, HCl, HBr and HI ? (b) Looking at the trend of boiling points of HCl, HBr and HI, explain out of dipole - dipole interaction and London interaction, which one is predominant here. Why is boiling point of hydrogen fluoride highest while that of hydrogen chloride lowest ?

    Assertion : Surface tension decreases with increase in temperature . Reason : On increasing temperature kinetic energy increases and intermolecular forces decreases .

    Assertion (A) : Among the two O - H bonds in H_(2) O molecule, the energy required to break the first O - H bond and the other O - H bond is the same. Reason (R) : This is because the electronic environment around oxygen is the same even after breakage of one O - H bond.
