Which of the following does not affect the boiling point of a liquid?
A) the number of sites for intermolecular interactions
B) the shape of the liquid molecules
C) the types of intermolecular forces between the liquid molecules
D) All of these affect the boiling point.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All the options listed (the number of sites for intermolecular interactions, the shape of the liquid molecules, and the types of intermolecular forces between the liquid molecules) influence the boiling point of a liquid. The number of interaction sites and the types of intermolecular forces affect the energy required to separate the molecules into a gas, while the shape of molecules can influence how closely they can pack together and how they interact, all of which impact the boiling point.
