The intermolecular forces bring the molecules close together and give them particular
Correct answer: B. Physical properties
- A. Chemical properties
- B. Physical properties
- C. Composition
- D. Nature
Explanation
The strength of the intermolecular forces determines the physical properties of the substance such as their state at room temperature, their boiling and melting points. Chemical properties are determined by the intramolecular forces i.e., the forces that exist within a molecule.

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.
