Question

Match each property of a liquid to what it indicates about the relative strength of the intermolecular forces in that liquid:

Strong intermolecular forces, Weak intermolecular forces

1. high vapor pressure
2. high surface tension
3. high viscosity
4. high boiling point

Answer 1

1. high vapor pressure = weak IMF
2. high surface tension = strong IMF
3. high viscosity = strong IMF
4. high boiling point = strong IMF
