Organic compounds that are essentially nonpolar and exhibit weak intermolecular forces have
Correct answer: B. low vapor pressure
- A. low b.p
- B. low vapor pressure
- C. high b.p
- D. high electrical conductivity
Explanation
Organic compounds that are essentially nonpolar and exhibit weak intermolecular forces tend to have low vapor pressure. Vapor pressure is the pressure exerted by a vapor (gas) in equilibrium with its liquid phase at a given temperature. Weak intermolecular forces result in molecules being easily vaporized, meaning they can transition from the liquid to the gas phase more readily

About Chemistry of Hydrocarbons
Hydrocarbons are studied through the structures and reactions of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes and aromatic compounds. Coverage includes free radical substitution in alkanes, electrophilic addition to carbon-carbon multiple bonds, benzene substitution, aromatic stability and the difference between addition reactions of alkenes and substitution reactions of benzene.
