What factors influence the boiling point of a substance?
Consider the types of intermolecular forces present.
What is viscosity?
Think about how thick a liquid is.
Which intermolecular forces typically lead to higher boiling points?
Consider strength of the forces when thinking about boiling points.
True or False: Viscosity decreases as the strength of intermolecular forces increases.
Refer back to the definition of viscosity.
