Do stronger intermolecular forces result in higher or lower boiling points?
An intermolecular force has both a boiling point and melting point
Why do dipole forces have an impact on the melting and boiling points of substances?
Dipoles are a form of intermolecular force which holds molecules together. The greater the intermolecular force, usually the greater the boiling point, for example.
What are discrete atoms?
A discrete atom or molecule is one with very weak intermolecular forces, causing them to have low melting and boiling points.
What is the relationship between the strength of the intermolecular forces and boiling point?
Boiling can only occur when the kinetic energy of heat overcomes the intermolecular forces holding a liquid together, so the greater the intermolecular forces, the higher the boiling point.
What does a high melting point temperature indicate about a substance?
Strong Intermolecular Forces attract the molecules
Do stronger intermolecular forces result in higher or lower boiling points?
An intermolecular force has both a boiling point and melting point
How is high melting and boiling points related to the structure of the compounds?
The structure of a compound will dictate what intermolecular forces hold the molecules together. The stronger these forces, the higher will be the boiling point.
Why do dipole forces have an impact on the melting and boiling points of substances?
Dipoles are a form of intermolecular force which holds molecules together. The greater the intermolecular force, usually the greater the boiling point, for example.
What can infer about the attraction between particles in a substance with a low melting point?
The stronger the intermolecular forces, the higher the boiling point, because more kinetic energy is needed to break these intermolecular forces apart.
What is the relationship between the strength of the intermolecular forces and boiling point?
Boiling can only occur when the kinetic energy of heat overcomes the intermolecular forces holding a liquid together, so the greater the intermolecular forces, the higher the boiling point.
What are discrete atoms?
A discrete atom or molecule is one with very weak intermolecular forces, causing them to have low melting and boiling points.
How can the boiling and the melting point be used to help identify substances?
intermolecular forces are hard to overcome...apex
How are the melting points of ionic compounds different from molecular compounds?
Very much higher.
The stronger the intermolecular forces in a substance?
The stronger the forces the stronger the attraction between the molecules in the substance. This will tend to increase the temperature of phase changes, melting and boiling points.
What does a high melting point temperature indicate about a substance?
Strong Intermolecular Forces attract the molecules
How do intermolecular forces affect the boiling point of liquid?
the stronger the intermolecular force, the more energy is required to boil the liquid ...
Which physical properties is not affected by an increase in intermolecular forces?
The correct answers are: Capillary attraction; Melting point; and Heat of vaporization. Stronger intermolecular forces increase capillary attraction, melting point, and the heat of vaporization. They have no bearing on conductivity and hardness.A.HardnessB.ConductivityC.Capillary attractionD.Melting pointE.Heat of vaporization
