10. Some mercury is poured into a capillary tube of

uniform bore and one end closed. When the tube

is held horizontally, mercury column has a length

of 4 cm and air enclosed in the closed end has a

length of 10 cm. If the tube is now held vertically,

with open end upwards, the length of the air

column will be (take atmospheric pressure at the

vanderwaal's forces of attraction are the electrostatic intermolecular forces that exist in a molecule due to the temporary or permanent dipoles that are developed in a molecule. in , the major intermolecular forces are dipole-dipole interactions as the molecule is polar (bent structure). so the vanderwaal's forces of interaction in between molecules are the permanent dipole-dipole interactions that develop due to the dipole that exists in between the polar h - s bond. the positively charged hydrogen atom is attracted towards the negative end of the dipole that is sulfur of the adjacent molecule. therefore, these forces of attraction are relatively stronger than that of london dispersion forces that exist in non polar molecules.
