ANSWER:
Solution 2P
Here we have to describe the type of forces, intramolecular or intermolecular.
Intermolecular force is defined as the force of attraction which exist within each molecule and the force of attraction which exist between the molecules is called as intramolecular force of attraction.
Generally the chemical property is influenced by intramolecular forces whereas the physical property is influenced by intermolecular forces.
Step 1
(a) Prevent ice cubes from adopting the shape of their container.
The shape of the substance is a physical property and is dependent on intermolecular forces.
Thus, the type of forces is intermolecular forces.
