Question

For which properties can a student design an investigation of the electrostatic forces between molecules in a substance?(1 point)
Responses

surface tension and vapor pressure, but not melting point and boiling point
surface tension and vapor pressure, but not melting point and boiling point

melting point and boiling point, but not surface tension and vapor pressure
melting point and boiling point, but not surface tension and vapor pressure

melting point, boiling point, surface tension, and vapor pressure
melting point, boiling point, surface tension, and vapor pressure

boiling point, but not melting point, surface tension, or vapor pressure

Answer 1

The correct response is:

**melting point, boiling point, surface tension, and vapor pressure**

Electrostatic forces between molecules play a significant role in determining these physical properties. For instance, stronger intermolecular forces generally lead to higher melting and boiling points, as well as affecting surface tension and vapor pressure. Thus, a student can design an investigation related to all of these properties.
