Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Attractive forces between molecules in a solid are weaker than bonds between atoms in a molecule.

It takes much more energy to break intramolecular bonds (bonds within molecules) than it does to break intermolecular bonds (bonds between molecules). As a result, it is more difficult to break apart one molecule of a solid than it is to break the solid or separate the molecules from one another.
