The law of conservation of energy states that when one form of energy is converted into another,
a. energy is destroyed in the process.
b. no energy is destroyed in the process.
c. energy is created in the process.
d. some amount of energy cannot be accounted for.

The law of conservation of energy states that when one form of energy is converted into another, no energy is destroyed in the process. The answer is letter B. Energy cannot be created nor destroyed, it can only be converted from one form into the other.

The answer is B.

Law of conservation of energy: No energy can be created or destroyed only transformed.

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.
