Question

The bond responsible between atoms and molecules which determine the surface tension and boiling point of liquids is

• A. Metallic bond
• B. Covalent bond
• C. Ionic bond
• D. Van der Waals bond

Hint:

Van der Waals forces are prominent in non-polar molecules and determine their boiling points and condensation behavior.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Van der Waals forces are intermolecular forces that influence physical properties like surface tension and boiling point. These weak interactions include dispersion forces and dipole interactions, which stabilize molecular arrangements.
