Column B: (a)  (b)  (c)  (d)

Canvas Classes · Accepted Answer

Step 1 — Distance dependence of intermolecular forces:

(i) Ion–ion interaction:
Coulomb's law:

(ii) Dipole–dipole interaction:
For fixed dipoles:

(iii) London dispersion forces:
Induced dipole–induced dipole:

Matching: (i)-(a), (ii)-(c), (iii)-(d)
