  1. High molecular weight and strong intermolecular forces
  2. Low molecular weight and weak intermolecular forces
  3. High molecular weight and weak intermolecular forces
  4. Low molecular weight and strong intermolecular forces

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In which of the following scenarios does a liquid exhibit the highest boiling point?
  • Step 1: Understand that boiling point is the temperature at which a liquid turns into a gas.
  • Step 2: Know that the boiling point is affected by the strength of the forces between the molecules in the liquid.
  • Step 3: Recognize that liquids with high molecular weight usually have stronger intermolecular forces.
  • Step 4: Identify that strong intermolecular forces include hydrogen bonds, dipole-dipole interactions, and London dispersion forces.
  • Step 5: Conclude that a liquid with both high molecular weight and strong intermolecular forces will have the highest boiling point.
