The semi will have the hardest time changing direction because of its mass. The more mass there is, the more effort it takes to accelerate and decelerate as well as change direction.
There are four type of intermolecular forces: ionic, dipole-dipole, hydrogen bonds and London disperssion forces.
CH4 have no ions, so there are not ionic forces.
CH4 is a symetrical molecule, so there cannot be a net dipole in the molecule, so there is not dipole-dipole interaction.
Hydrogen bonding is only possbile when H is bonded to N, O or F, beacuse they are the atoms that considerable higher electgronegativy than hydrogen.
So, the only intermolecular force present in CH4 molecules is London disperssion forces, which is a force present in any molecule and is the weakiest one. That explains the low melting and boiling points of CH4.
<u>Answer:</u>
The correct answer option is a) collisions between the particles and surrounding molecules.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The collisions between the particles and surrounding molecules causes the Brownian motion of particles in a colloid.
Brownian motion is the irregular movement of the microscopic particles in a fluid which bombard into each other.
It basically is the result of the molecules of a dispersion medium colliding with the dispersed particles of the phase.
The correct order of steps during the formation of an ionic bond
- Electrons are transferred
- Ions are attracted to each other
<h3>What is Ionic bonding?</h3>
This is the type of bonding which occurs as result of transfer of electrons
and is also regarded as electrovalent bonding.
When the electrons are transferred , ions form which then gets attracted
to each other and results in the formation of a compound.

The correct answer should be D :)
