Do inter-molecular forces occur as a result of being in the liquid state or does a liquid state exist because of inter-molecular forces?

The liquid state is caused by intermolecular forces.


How does strength of inter molecular forces affect evaporation point?

as inter molecular forces increase the evaporation point also increases as more heat is required to break the bonds


Which matter has the minimum inter molecular force?

Intermolecular forces are weak in gases.


Is Dipole-dipole forces a intramolecule force?

No. They are inter molecular forces acting between two different molecules.


What type of inter molecular forces hold oxycontin molecules together?

Hydrogen bonding, dipoles, and London dispersion forces.


Is hydrogen bonding also called dipole-dipole?

No,they are two seperate inter molecular forces.


What is the difference between intra-molecular bonding and inter-molecular interactions?

Intra-molecular bonding refers to the forces that hold atoms together within a molecule, such as covalent bonds or ionic bonds. Inter-molecular interactions are forces between molecules, like hydrogen bonding or van der Waals forces, which affect the interactions between different molecules in a substance.


Where did van der Waals forces get their name?

They are named after Johannes Diderik van der Waals who was the first to postulate about inter molecular forces


What is the suitable hypothesis to investigate evaporation and determine the relationship between evaporation and inter molecular forces?

Evaporation occur when intermolecular forces weakened.


Why is the melting point of silicon much higher than that of argon even though argon has a greater molar mass?

Because Argon exists as diatomic Ag2 molecules, with relatively weak inter-mocular forces (Van-der-Waals forces) between the molecules. Melting Argon only requires that these inter-olecular forces are overcome, which does not requires much energy as the molecules are small - so Argon melts at -189 degrees celcius - so is a gas at R.T.P Silicon on the other hand exists in a macro-molecular form, and all the atoms are covalently bonded to each other in a giant molecular lattice. To melt silicon, covalent bonds must be broken, which requires a great deal of energy, and hence silicon only melts at 1414 degrees celcius


Which inter molecular force would effect the boiling point the least?

Van der Waals forces APEX


Which inter molecular force would cause the highest melting point?

Hydrogen bonding, which is the strongest of the intermolecular forces.
