The intermolecular attraction that is dependent on the inverse cube of the distance between the molecules is
Assertion. is the only hydride of group-16 which is liquid at ordinary temperature.
Reason. In ice, each oxygen atom is surrounded by two covalent bonds and two hydrogen bonds.
Assertion. Both o-hydroxy benzaldehyde and p-hydroxy benzaldehyde have same molecular weight and show H-bonding.
Reason. Melting point of p-hydroxy benzaldehyde is more.
Assertion. The ion exists in the solid-state and also in the liquid state but not in an aqueous solution.
Reason. The magnitude of hydrogen bonds in between molecules are weaker than that in between and molecules.
Statement-I. The boiling point of lies between that of and .
Statement-2. has much lower boiling point than but it increases from to to to due to increase in van der Waals forces.
Statement-I. o-Nitrophenol has a higher boiling point than p-Nitrophenol.
Statement-2. Intramolecular hydrogen bonding occurs in o-Nitro-phenol.
