intermolecular force
metallic force
potential energy force

1. use the image to choose the best answer.

which is the stronger force, label a or b?
label b
label a

1. use the image to choose the best answer.

label a is showing which force of attraction?
metallic force
potential energy force
intermolecular force
intramolecular force

Explanation:

1. For Q2: Label B is the solid bond within a single HCl molecule, which holds the atoms of the molecule together, so it is an intramolecular force.
2. For Q3: Intramolecular forces (Label B) are stronger than intermolecular forces (Label A), as they involve direct bonding between atoms rather than weaker attractions between molecules.
3. For Q4: Label A is the dashed attraction between the partially positive H of one HCl molecule and the partially negative Cl of another, which is an intermolecular force (specifically dipole-dipole interaction, a type of intermolecular force).

Answer:

Q2: A. intramolecular force
Q3: A. Label B
Q4: C. intermolecular force
