Solution

Less energy will be needed to overcome the intermolecular forces than the intramolecular forces in water.

Here's why:

  1. Intermolecular forces are the forces of attraction between different molecules. They are generally weaker than intramolecular forces, which are the forces holding atoms together within a molecule.

  2. In water, the intramolecular forces are the co
