2 Points
How do intermolecular forces affect the boiling point of a liquid?
O
A. The strength of the forces does not change the heat required to
boil the liquid.
O
B. The stronger the forces, the less heat that will be required to boil
the liquid.
O
C. The weaker the forces, the more heat that must be added to boil
the liquid
O
D. The stronger the forces, the more heat that must be added to boil
the liquid

Answer 1

Answer:

D. The stronger the forces, the more heat that must be added to boil

the liquid

Explanation:

The intermolecular forces hold the molecules together and so require energy to break them. When a substance changes states, it's not the atoms that separate from other atoms, it's molecules separating from molecules. The stronger the intermolecular forces, the more energy is required to break the intermolecular forces

Answer 2

Answer:

D. The stronger the forces, the more heat that must be added to boil

the liquid.

Explanation:

The intermolecular forces and boiling point of a liquid have a direct relationship. If you have a stronger intermolecular force, the more heat must be added to boil the liquid.
