Free Properties of Liquids MCQs with Answers

145 Properties of Liquids MCQs from Chemistry, each with the correct answer and a written explanation of why it is correct. Free and unlimited, with no account needed.

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.

  • C. Irregular volume
  • D. Changing volume

Explanation: The state of matter, which has a definite volume but no definite shape, is called liquid.In liquids, the molecules are close to each…

Correct answer: Definite volume
  • A. H-bonding
  • B. London dispersion forces
  • C. Dipole-dipole force
  • D. Chemical bonding

Explanation: B is correct option because Iodine sublimes rather than melting and boiling.

Correct answer: London dispersion forces

Explanation: When a solid changes into a liquid the atoms inside experience two variations.

Correct answer: Both A and B
  • A. Sulphur.
  • B. Phosphorous
  • C. Argon
  • D. Sugar.

Explanation: London forces are significant in noble gases like argon. Noble gases are known for their weak intermolecular interactions, mainly London…

  • A. Dipole-dipole forces
  • B. Dipole-induced dipole forces
  • C. London dispersion forces
  • D. Hydrogen bonding

Explanation: A is incorrect because dipole-dipole forces only occur in polar molecules.B is incorrect as dipole-induced dipole forces are present…

Correct answer: London dispersion forces
  • A. Atoms of helium in gaseous state at high temperature
  • B. Molecules of water
  • C. Molecules of NH3
  • D. Molecules of HCl gas
