Student B asked, "How are the strengths of the intermolecular forces (IMF) between the particles in a series of substances placed in similar containers related to their measured vapor pressure?"
Student A said, "Maybe our friend on the other side of the screen can help with that."
The stronger the MF between particles of a substance, the higher the vapor pressure, since particles would be allowed to escape as readily
The stronger the IMF between particles of a substance, the lower the vapor pressure, since particles would not be allowed to escape as
readily from the surface
The weaker the IMF between particles of a substance, the lower the vapor pressure, since particles would not be allowed to escape as readily from the surface
The vapor pressure of a substance is not related to the IMF between the particles.
