Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Vapor pressure is the pressure exerted by the vapor of a liquid in equilibrium with its liquid phase at a given temperature. The higher the temperature, the more kinetic energy molecules have, and the more likely they are to escape the liquid phase and become part of the vapor phase. Therefore, vapor pressure increases with temperature.

B) Hydrogen bonds are actually a type of strong dipole-dipole force, but they are not stronger than covalent bonds.

C) Intermolecular forces hold molecules together, but not necessarily atoms within a molecule. Covalent bonds hold the atoms in a molecule together.

D) Dispersion forces are generally weaker than dipole-dipole forces.
