Question
Name two intermolecular forces that exist between HF molecules in liquid state.
Advertisements
Solution
The two intermolecular forces that exist between \[\ce{HF}\] molecules in liquid state are hydrogen bonding (as \[\ce{F}\] is a highly electronegative atom) and dipole-dipole interaction (as \[\ce{HF}\] is a polar molecule).

Increase in kinetic energy can overcome intermolecular forces of attraction. How will the viscosity of liquid be affected by the increase in temperature?
Viscosity of a liquid arises due to strong intermolecular forces existing between the molecules. Stronger the intermolecular forces, greater is the viscosity. Name the intermolecular forces existing in the following liquids and arrange them in the increasing order of their viscosities. Also give reason for the assigned order in one line.
Water, hexane \[\ce{(CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3), glycerine (CH2OH CH(OH) CH2OH)}\]
Explain the effect of increasing the temperature of a liquid, on intermolecular forces operating between its particles, what will happen to the viscosity of a liquid if its temperature is increased?
