Question

use the information to answer the question.
students are conducting experiments to determine the relative strengths of intermolecular forces in different substances.
which property results from a substance having strong intermolecular forces?
a. high density
b. high volume
c. high melting point
d. high evaporation rate

Explanation:

Intermolecular forces are the forces between molecules. Stronger intermolecular forces mean more energy is required to overcome these forces. Melting a substance involves overcoming the intermolecular forces to change from solid to liquid. High density is related to mass and volume ratio, not directly to intermolecular forces strength in a simple cause - effect way as asked here. High volume is a measure of space occupied and not directly a result of strong intermolecular forces. A high evaporation rate means molecules escape easily from the liquid phase, which would be the case for weak intermolecular forces (opposite of what we want).

Answer:

C. high melting point
