What is the correct relation between ∆H and intermolecular forces?

Correct answer: B. Higher ∆H, higher intermolecular forces

  • A. Higher ∆H weaker intermolecular forces
  • B. Higher ∆H, higher intermolecular forces
  • C. Lower ∆H, higher intermolecular forces
  • D. None of these

Explanation

Option B is the correct answer. The correct relation between ΔH (enthalpy change) and intermolecular force is: higher ΔH corresponds to higher intermolecular force.When the ΔH of a substance is high, it means that a significant amount of energy is required to break the intermolecular forces holding the molecules together. Therefore, substances with higher ΔH values generally have stronger intermolecular forces.

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.
