Question

How do weak intermolecular bond strengths affect the melting and boiling point of a substance?
(1 point)
The melting point is lower, but the boiling point is higher.
Both the melting point and boiling point are higher.
Both the melting point and boiling point are lower.
The melting point is higher, but the boiling point is lower.

Answer 1

Weak intermolecular bond strengths generally lead to lower melting and boiling points for a substance. Therefore, the correct answer is:

**Both the melting point and boiling point are lower.**
