Which statement about the temperatures of phase changes and electrostatic forces holding the

molecules is correct?(1 point)
The strength of the forces between molecules in a substance depends on the number of filled electron
shells
The strength of the forces between molecules in a substance is strongest at higher temperatures
The temperatures at which a substance changes phases is dependent of the size of the molecules in the
substance.
The temperatures at which a substance changes phases indicate the relative strength of the forces between
molecules in the substance.

1 answer

The correct statement is: The temperatures at which a substance changes phases indicate the relative strength of the forces between molecules in the substance.

This statement accurately reflects the relationship between intermolecular forces and phase change temperatures, as stronger intermolecular forces generally result in higher boiling and melting points. The other statements are either misleading or incorrect.
