5 Questions
Which liquid has the highest surface tension among the ones listed?
Water
What type of intermolecular forces exist in Carbon disulfide?
London dispersion forces (LDF)
Why does a liquid with strong intermolecular forces have higher surface tension?
Strong intermolecular forces result in a greater net pull of surface molecules
What makes Pyridine different from Carbon disulfide in terms of intermolecular forces?
Pyridine has hydrogen bonding, while Carbon disulfide has London dispersion forces
How do London dispersion forces contribute to surface tension?
By reducing the required energy to increase surface area
Test your knowledge on surface tension and intermolecular forces with this quiz. Learn about the relationship between strong intermolecular forces and higher surface tension in liquids like carbon disulfide, pyridine, and water. Explore the impact of London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole forces, and hydrogen bonding on surface tension.
