Which of these kinds of interactions are broken when a liquid is converted to a gas? which of these kinds of interactions are broken when a liquid is converted to a gas? intermolecular interactions are broken when a liquid is converted to a gas. intramolecular interactions are broken when a liquid is converted to a gas. both of these interactions are broken?

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Intermolecular interaction means the interactions present between two molecules. And, intramolecular interactions mean the interactions present within the molecules of a substance.

So, when interactions within a molecule that is, intramolecular interactions change then chemical properties of the substance changes.

On the other hand, when intermolecular interactions change then there occurs change in state of substance.

Thus, we can conclude that intermolecular interactions are broken when a liquid is converted to a gas.

liquid to gas intermolecular interaction are broken when liquid is converted to a gas.Example in CH3COOH liquid, dispersion forces, dipole-dipole forces and hydrogen bonding are intermolecular forces that must be overcomed to convert C H3COOH from liquid to gas.
