Question

which of the following would indicate the strongest intermolecular forces in a solid?
a low melting point
a high melting point
low electrical resistance
high electrical resistance
answers b & d are correct

Explanation:

Intermolecular forces hold solid particles together. Stronger forces require more energy to break, leading to a higher melting point. Electrical resistance relates to charge mobility, not directly to intermolecular force strength. Thus, only a high melting point indicates strong intermolecular forces.

Answer:

a high melting point
