Let's address each question one by one:
Question 1
How does a phase change from solid to liquid occur in a substance?
- Correct answer: Heat energy is added to the substance, weakening the electrical attraction between molecules.
Question 2
How do weak intermolecular bond strengths affect the melting and boiling point of a substance?
- Correct answer: Both the melting point and boiling point are lower.
Question 3
Which statement best describes what happens during hydrogen bonding?
- Correct answer: The partial positive hydrogen atom in one molecule and a partial negative atom in another molecule experience attraction.
Question 4
Which term or phrase represents a separation of charges in a molecule, resulting in partial positive and partial negative charges?
- Correct answer: dipole
Question 5
Which statement explains why water and ethanol have different boiling points?
- Correct answer: Water exhibits hydrogen bonding, while ethanol does not.
