Answer:
Yes, the presence of a dipole moment in a molecule tend to increase the strength of inter-molecular interactions.
Explanation:
Dipole moment:
It is a vector quantity and is used to measure the distance between the two opposite charges.
- The stronger the dipole moment, the greater the inter-molecular forces.
- The inter-molecular forces are formed between the molecules and their strength decreases as the distances between the molecules increases. Like the inter-molecular forces are stronger in liquids and are weaker in gases due to the increased distances between the molecules in gases.
