Concept Introduction:
Matter is generally classified into three distinct categories viz., solid state, liquid state, gaseous state. In all of these three states of matter, the constituents (molecules or ions) of the matter do possess forces between them which are not the same in each state. These forces are called intermolecular forces.
The intermolecular forces are relatively strong in the solids than liquids and weaker in the gaseous substances. This variation influences many of the properties of all the three distinct

The compound with lowest vapor pressure is
Explanation of Solution
Identify the compound which has lowest vapor pressure and justify it.
The compound
A boiling liquid partly vaporizes and the vaporized molecules do exist in equilibrium with the liquid molecules. The pressure exerted by the vaporized molecules is termed as vapor pressure. Molecules are able to move freely if the intermolecular forces are weak. The more the free movement of molecules the more will be the pressure exerted by them. If the intermolecular forces are strong, the movement of the molecules is restricted to some extent that the pressure exerted by them will be low. Thus increase in the strength of intermolecular forces in a substance decreases its vapor pressure.

The compound with greatest viscosity is
Explanation of Solution
Identify the compound which has highest viscosity and justify it.
Viscosity of a liquid is its resistance to flow. A liquid is said to be highly viscous if it hardly flows. When the intermolecular forces are strong, the molecules are unable to move freely. The strong hydrogen bonding in the molecules of

How do typical dipole-dipole forces differ from hydrogen bonding interactions? In what ways are they similar? What are London dispersion forces? How do typical London dispersion forces differ from dipole-dipole forces? In what ways are they similar? Describe the relationship between molecular size and strength of London dispersion forces. Place the major types of intermolecular forces in order of increasing strength. Is there some overlap? That is, can the strongest London dispersion forces be greater than some dipole-dipole forces? Give an example of such an instance.arrow_forward

Which best describes what occurs in the container? Water evaporates until the air becomes saturated with water vapor; at this point, no more water evaporates. Water evaporates until the air becomes overly saturated (supersaturated) with water, and most of this water recondenses; this cycle continues until a certain amount of water vapor is present, and then the cycle ceases. The water does not evaporate because the container sealed. Water evaporates, and thou water evaporates and recondenses simultaneously and continuously. The water evaporates until it is eventually all in vapor form. stify your choice, and for choices you did not pick, explain what is wrong with them.arrow_forward
