Intermolecular forces are forces of interaction that are operative between two different molecules. They are of follow types
1) Dipole- dipole interaction
2) Hydrogen bonds
3) vander Waal's forces
Depending upon the polarity and constitution molecule above forces are operable.
for instance, in case of ammonia, Hydrogen bonds exist because hydrogen atom is attached to electronegative element i.e. N
HCl and CO are polar molecules, so dipole-dipole interaction is operative in these molecules.
Finally in case of CO2, vander Waal's forces of interaction is operable because it is a non-polar molecule.
Solid! The molecules in solid matter are arranged closely together and packed quite tightly to maintain a regular shape. Hope this helps!
Answer:
3 electrons
Explanation:
aluminum : [Ne]3s23p1 [ N e ] 3 s 2 3 p 1 . It loses 3 electrons from 3s and 3p orbitals and attains the noble gas configuration of Neon.
