Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Weak forces of attraction between the molecules of a substance are known as Vander waal forces.

Down the group there is increase in atomic size of the elements of a group due to the increase in atomic mass which increases the number of electrons in the atoms.

These electrons are held by Vander waal forces (or intermolecular forces) and strength of these forces increase down the group. As a result, more heat is required to move the electrons due to which there occurs increase in boiling point of atoms.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement total number of electrons increases down the group, and this increases the strength of the intermolecular forces, best explains the trends in boiling points.

Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

Points of acceleration:

1. When female bear goes quickly

2. After becoming tired, when she becomes slow

3. When she changes direction from east to north

4.When she slows down when she reaches the river bed

5. When she turns around

6.When she increases speed to travel southwest to return home

7. When she comes to a stop at home

Explanation:

1. When she is going quickly she is increasing her velocity thus positively accelerating

2. When she becomes slow, she is having negative acceleration.

3. When there is a change in direction of velocity there is an acceleration.

4. Again negative acceleration when she comes to a stop at the river bed

5. Turning around to the southwest direction requires acceleration

6. To increase the velocity to reach home, positive acceleration

7. To decrease the velocity to stop upon reaching home, negative acceleration
