Q1.23 (ii):
Suggest the most important type of intermolecular attractive interaction in the following pairs. (ii) \(I_{2}\) and \(CCl_{4}\)

Solution :

Step 1: Analysis of Chemical Species

To determine the nature of the intermolecular interaction between $I_2$ (iodine) and $CCl_4$ (carbon tetrachloride), we must first evaluate the molecular geometry and polarity of each individual substance.

  • $I_2$ (Iodine): This is a homonuclear diatomic molecule. Because the two iodine atoms have identical electronegativities, the electron distribution is perfectly symmetrical. Thus, $I_2$ is a non-polar molecule.
  • $CCl_4$ (Carbon Tetrachloride): This molecule exhibits a tetrahedral geometry. While the $C-Cl$ bond is polar due to the electronegativity difference between carbon ($2.55$) and chlorine ($3.16$), the four bond dipoles cancel each other out in the symmetrical tetrahedral arrangement. Thus, the net dipole moment $\mu = 0$, making $CCl_4$ a non-polar solvent.

Step 2: Identification of Intermolecular Forces

Since both species are non-polar, they do not possess permanent dipoles. Interaction between such molecules relies entirely on transient, fluctuating dipoles.

When two non-polar molecules approach each other, the electron clouds undergo temporary distortion. This creates a momentary dipole in one molecule, which induces a corresponding dipole in the adjacent molecule [Per the London-Debye-Keesom theory].

Step 3: Justification of London Dispersion Forces

The interaction between two non-polar molecules is categorized as London Dispersion Forces (also known as induced dipole-induced dipole interactions).

I₂ London Force CCl₄

Step 4: Conclusion

Because $I_2$ and $CCl_4$ are both non-polar covalent molecules, the only possible attractive interactions between them are the weak, short-range London dispersion forces.

Final Solution: The most important type of intermolecular attractive interaction in the pair $I_2$ and $CCl_4$ is London Dispersion Forces (induced dipole-induced dipole interaction).

As a technology and data professional, my approach to teaching Class 12 Mathematics bridges the gap between abstract textbook formulas and clear, logical problem-solving execution. I specialize in training students for both the CBSE Board and State Board examinations, ensuring a highly structured approach to scoring maximum marks. My Class 12 Mathematics Instructional Blueprint covers: • Calculus Mastery: Simplifying high-weightage topics like Continuity & Differentiability, Integrals, and Applications of Derivatives (AoD) through step-by-step logical breakdowns. • Vectors & 3D Geometry: Using visual and coordinate tools to make highly abstract geometric concepts easy to grasp and reproduce in exams. • Algebra & Probability: Covering Matrices, Determinants, and Relations & Functions with complete conceptual clarity. Exam-Targeted Strategy: • Board-Specific Focus: Comprehensive coverage of NCERT for CBSE and prescribed text-books for State Boards, focusing on question-solving patterns from the past 10 years of board papers. • Marks-Scoring Techniques: Teaching students exactly how to present their steps in the answer sheet to claim full step-marking. • Regular Assessments: Weekly topic-wise tests and time-bound mock exams to track speed and accuracy. My teaching style is patient, structured, and collaborative. I ensure that concepts are thoroughly understood before moving to advanced problems, creating a supportive online environment where students feel completely comfortable clearing their doubts. Let's build a strong mathematical foundation and secure top scores in the upcoming Board Exams! Contact me to book a demo session.

i am physics teacher with 15 years of experience in teaching 11,12, competitive exams. i always try to explain topics more in practical form rather than theortical by giving examples from day to day life . topics like electrostatics , alternating current ,optics , semiconductors and logic gates are most imp and students usually got troubled there but with practical apporoach i make them go with happy and easy learning .

Class 12 in the CBSE/ICSE system in India is a crucial year for students, as it is the final year of their secondary education. Learning Methodology in physics. Understand the Basics First: Start with a solid foundation by grasping the fundamental concepts and principles of physics. Ensure you have a good grasp of mathematics, as it is an essential tool in physics. Begin by understanding the fundamental concepts of physics, such as motion, forces, energy, and matter. A strong foundation is essential. Chunk Information: Break down the material into smaller, manageable chunks. Focus on one concept at a time, master it, and then move on to the next. Active Learning: Engage actively with the material. Instead of just reading or listening, try to solve problems, ask questions, and make connections between concepts. Practice Problem-Solving: Physics involves a lot of problem-solving. Work through a variety of physics problems regularly to reinforce your understanding. Seek out practice problems and solutions in textbooks or online resources. Start with straightforward physics problems and gradually work your way up to more complex ones. Practice problem-solving regularly. Visualize Concepts: Physics concepts can often be abstract. Use visual aids, diagrams, and animations to help you understand and remember complex ideas. Relate physics concepts to everyday experiences or familiar analogies. For example, compare the flow of electricity in a circuit to the flow of water in pipes Create concept maps or mind maps to connect related physics concepts. This can help you see the relationships between different ideas. I am teaching Physics with the concept of a child-centered education system. Currently, I am working in a CBSE school having 12years of experience. I have 9 years of online teaching experience with technical skills. I can teach Physics with the basic concepts following the standards of the CBSE Curriculum with practical applications, and numerical solving methods. I can ensure that I will give complete value to the student for their academics. Please have a look at my profile for more information
