The correct Answer is:
To solve the assertion and reason question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that dipole-dipole forces acting between molecules with permanent dipoles are weaker than ion-ion interactions. - **Explanation**: Dipole-dipole forces arise from the interactions between the positive end of one polar molecule and the negative end of another. These forces are generally weaker than ion-ion interactions, which involve full charges (ions) attracting each other. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that attractive forces decrease with the increase of distance between the dipoles. - **Explanation**: This is a fundamental principle in chemistry; as the distance between charged entities increases, the force of attraction or repulsion between them decreases. This applies to both dipole-dipole interactions and ion-ion interactions. 3. **Comparing the Strengths of Interactions**: - Ion-ion interactions are much stronger than dipole-dipole interactions because ions have full charges, while dipoles have only partial charges. - The strength of dipole-dipole interactions is influenced by the distance between the dipoles, which supports the assertion. 4. **Conclusion**: - Both the assertion and the reason are true. Additionally, the reason correctly explains why the assertion is true, as the decrease in attractive forces with distance applies to dipole-dipole interactions. ### Final Answer: - **Both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.**
