Answer to Question #88990 in General Chemistry for Truman

Question

How does the type of IMF affect the temperature change? Why does this occur?
Among the polar molecules, what is the trend in IMF strength and rate of evaporation? How about non-polar molecules?
Thank you

Answer 1

Conversely, as the temperature of a liquid sample decreases, the average kinetic energy of the molecules decreases and they move more slowly. Since the molecules are near each other, the slower they go, the more theintermolecular forces attract them to each other.
