The identity of a substance is defined not only by the types of atoms or ions it contains, but by the quantity of
each type of atom or ion. The experimental approach required the introduction of a new unit for amount of
substances, the mole, which remains indispensable in modern chemical science. The mole is an amount unit
similar to familiar units like pair, dozen, gross, etc. It provides a specific measure of the number of atoms or
molecules in a bulk sample of matter. A mole is defined as the amount of substance containing the same
number of discrete entities (atoms, molecules, ions, etc.) as the number of atoms in a sample of pure 12C
weighing exactly 12g. One Latin connotation for the word “mole” is “large mass” or “bulk,” which is
consistent with its use as the name for this unit. The mole provides a link between an easily measured
macroscopic property, bulk mass, and an extremely important fundamental property, number of atoms,

6.02214179 × 1023.

Intermolecular forces are the forces of attraction and repulsion that exist between molecules of a compound.
These cause the compound to exist in a certain state of matter – solid, liquid or gas and affect the melting and
boiling points of compounds as well as the solubilities of one substance in another. Attractive intermolecular
forces are also called van der Waals’ forces. These are weak forces.
(i) Dipole-dipole forces act between the molecules possessing permanent dipole. Ends of dipoles possess
‘partial charges’. The partial charge is 1
(a) more than unit electronic charge
(b) equal to unit electronic charge
(c) less than unit electronic charge
