• Just above room temperature

• At the temperature of the human body

What type of intermolecular force is most common in noble gases?

• Ionic bonding

• Covalent bonding

• London dispersion forces

• Dipole-dipole forces

What causes hydrogen bonding?

What role do intermolecular forces play in the state of matter?

• They are stronger in gases than in liquids

• They determine the chemical properties of a substance

• They are responsible for the phase transitions between solid, liquid, and gas

• They only exist in solid state

Which of the following is not a property of liquids?

• Adapting shape to their container

• Definite volume

• Ability to flow

• High compressibility

Why do liquids form spherical shapes in the absence of external forces?

• Because of gravity

• Due to surface tension

• Due to capillary action

• Because of their viscosity

What is viscosity?

• A liquid's resistance to flow

• A liquid's tendency to evaporate

• A liquid's ability to form hydrogen bonds

• A measure of a liquid's surface tension

What property of liquids allows them to rise in a narrow tube against gravity?

• Cohesion

• Surface tension

• Capillary action

• Viscosity

What does the concave meniscus of water in a glass tube indicate?

• Stronger cohesion than adhesion

• Stronger adhesion than cohesion

• High viscosity

• Low surface tension
