Questions and Answers

Which liquid has the highest surface tension among the ones listed?

  • Carbon disulfide
  • Pyridine
  • Water (correct)
  • The surface tension is the same for all liquids listed
  • What type of intermolecular forces exist in Carbon disulfide?

  • Dipole-dipole forces (DDF)
  • London dispersion forces (LDF) (correct)
  • Hydrogen bonding
  • Ionic bonding
  • Why does a liquid with strong intermolecular forces have higher surface tension?

  • Due to lower energy required to increase surface area
  • As weaker intermolecular forces reduce the energy needed to increase surface area
  • Because the surface molecules experience a weaker net pull
  • Strong intermolecular forces result in a greater net pull of surface molecules (correct)
  • What makes Pyridine different from Carbon disulfide in terms of intermolecular forces?
