Homework Statement
Intermolecular forces are
1- Attractive only
2-Repulsive only
3-Long-range
4-Short-range
Homework Equations
The 1st and 2nd options are not valid as the nature depends on the distance between the molecules.
The Attempt at a Solution
The answer given is short-range.How is that?Even,at infinity,the force does not become zero as even then,attractive forces should act.Or is it so,because intermolecular distances are measured on a very small scale and therefore,they are not valid for long distances?
