Intermolecular Forces and Their Impact on Physical Properties

What are intermolecular forces (IMFs)?

• Forces that act between molecules influencing physical properties

• Forces that act within a molecule

• Forces that only affect gases

• Forces that are irrelevant to boiling points

Which type of intermolecular force is responsible for water's high surface tension?

• Hydrogen bonding

• London dispersion forces

• Dipole-dipole interactions

• Ionic bonds

Why do polar molecules tend to have stronger intermolecular forces?

• They have stronger dipole-dipole interactions

• They rely on London dispersion forces

• They have weaker hydrogen bonds

• They are non-polar

What is the impact of strong hydrogen bonds on a substance's boiling point?

• Higher boiling point

• Lower boiling point

• No impact on boiling point

• Boiling point is unpredictable

How do cohesive and adhesive forces affect plants?

• They enable water to travel from roots to leaves

• They prevent water from moving in plants

• They only affect the leaves

• They have no role in plant water transport
