Intramolecular forces of attraction are important in holding large molecules together. a. True
b. False

False. Intermolecular forces of attraction are important in holding large molecules together.

Explanation:

Within a molecule, atoms are held together by intramolecular forces. That is, intramolecular forces are the attractive forces that hold the atoms or ions that make up chemical substances (elements and compounds) together, forming a chemical bond.

On the other hand, intermolecular forces are those that act on different molecules or ions and that make them attract or repel each other. In other words, intermolecular forces are those that occur between the different molecules of a compound, and cause these molecules or ions to attract or repel each other.

So, intermolecular forces of attraction are important in holding large molecules together.

a. the law of proportion states the combination of 2 atoms in a specific ratio to produce multiple compounds such as the given statement of question ‘1st compound contains 88.8 % cu ’ indicates 88.8 g of cu is present along with 11.2 g oxygen in 100 g of compound whereas the statement ‘2st compound contains 79.9 % cu ’ indicates 79.9 g of cu is present along with 20.1 g oxygen in 100 g of compound

1st compound contains 88.8 g cu

for cu

m = 63 g /mol

atomic % = 88.8 /63 = 1.42

for o

m = 16 g /mol

atomic % = 11.2 /16 = 0.7

b. the emperical formula of 1st compound is

cu1.4o0.7
