Questions and Answers

Why do the boiling points and melting points rise as the number of carbons increases?

  • Because the molecules change their shape
  • Because the intermolecular forces increase as the molecules get larger (correct)
  • Because the molecules get smaller
  • Because the molecules lose their intermolecular forces
  • What is required to occur during the processes of boiling and melting?

  • Lowering the temperature of the substance
  • Breaking the covalent bonds within a molecule
  • Overcoming the intermolecular forces of a liquid and a solid (correct)
  • Creating new molecules
  • What happens to the intermolecular forces as the molecules get larger?

  • They increase (correct)
  • They decrease
  • They become weaker
  • They remain constant

    Study Notes

    • As the number of carbons in a molecule increases, its boiling point and melting point also increase.
    • This trend is due to the strengthening of intermolecular forces between molecules as they get larger.
    • Boiling and melting require overcoming these intermolecular forces in a liquid and a solid, respectively.
