16. What is true about
intermolecular forces?
A. There is a vague relationship
between intermolecular forces and
bulk properties.
B. They are strong bonds that form
between atoms of molecules.
C. They are stronger than the
intramolecular forces between
atoms.
D. Substances can form more than
one but one will predominate.
17. Why are dispersion forces high
in molecules with great number of
electrons?
A. The electron distribution of big
molecules is easily polarized.
B. The electrons in the molecules
can easily jump from one orbital to
another.
C. The electrons move freely
around the nucleus resulting to
greater energy.
D. The nucleus in the molecules
has greater effective shielding
effect.
18. How does dipole-dipole
interaction happen?
A. The electron distribution
in the polar molecules is distorted
that
3
results to (-) and (+) poles.
B. The (-) and (+) ends of one
polar molecule align themselves to
the (+)and (-) ends of another polar
molecule and attract each
other.
C. Polar molecules shift
electron density that gives rise to
neutral
substances.
D. Polarization of big
nonpolar molecules brings about
the formation of permanent (+) and
(-) charges.
19. Which ions will result to higher
ion-dipole interactions?
A. anions
B. cations
C. divalent
D. monatomic
20. Which intermolecular forces
depend on the polarizability of
molecules?
A. Dipole-dipole
B. Hydrogen bonding
C. Ion-dipole
D. London dispersion forces
21. What is true of viscosity of
substances?
A. Molecules that form H-bonds
have higher viscosities than those
with London dispersion forces.
B. The least viscous substance
flow the slowest among the
substances.
 C. Substances with London
dispersion forces exhibit greater
viscosity than those with ion-
dipole interactions.
D. Viscosity of substances
increases as the temperature
increases.
22. Water is a polar molecule that
is capable of forming H=bonds.
What is expected of its vapour
pressure?
A. It is low since weak
intermolecular forces are present.
B. The polar ends hinder the
breaking of bonds, thus less water
vapour is produced.
C. Vapour pressure is high
since great amount of energy is
needed to break the H-bond.
D. Vapour pressure is low since
it is hard to break the H-bond
among the molecules and escape
as vapour.
23. The vapour pressure on top of
the mountain is low so, what will
happen to the cooking time of an
egg up there?
A. The cooking time will be
longer since the temperature of the
water is higher.
B. The cooking time will be
shorter since the temperature of
the water is higher.
C. The cooking time will be
longer since the temperature of the
water is lower.
D. The cooking time will be
shorter since the temperature of
the water is lower.
