Liquid A has a strong IMF and Liquid B has a weak IMF. Which liquid might evaporate quicker? Explain in terms of IMFs.

Answer :

Answer:

                    Liquid B will evaporate quicker.

Explanation:

                     Intermolecular forces (IMP) are the forces of attraction between molecules while intramolecular forces are force of attractions between atoms within a compound. Following are the types of intermolecular forces,

                             (i)  Ion-Dipole Interactions

                             (ii) Hydrogen Bondings

                             (iii) Dipole-Dipole Interactions

                             (iv) Ion-Induced Dipole

                             (v) Dipole-Induced Dipole

                             (vi) Dispersion /London Forces

The physical properties of a compounds strongly depends upon the strength of the IMF. For example, greater the IMF greater will be the melting and boiling point. In given statement the liquid B will evaporate quicker because it has weak interaction with its neighbouring atoms hence, it has weak IMF and easily break the interaction and escape while the liquid A will not do so as it has stronger IMF.
