Intermolecular forces are also called _
Correct answer: C. Van der Waal forces
- A. Chemical bond
- B. Intramolecular force
- C. Van der Waal forces
- D. Strong forces
Explanation
The intermolecular forces are typically referred to as Van der Waals forces. These forces are the attractive or repulsive forces that exist between molecules or atoms near one another. Van der Waals forces are relatively weak compared to chemical bonds, which are the forces that hold atoms together in molecules. However, they are still important in determining the properties of substances, such as their boiling and melting points, viscosity, and solubility.

About Properties of Liquids
Liquid behavior depends on intermolecular forces, which produce surface tension, viscosity, capillary action and a definite volume without a fixed shape. The topic also covers vapor pressure, evaporation, boiling point and the effect of temperature and external pressure, while distinguishing evaporation at the surface from boiling throughout the liquid.
