For which properties can a student design an investigation of the electrostatic forces between molecules in a substance?(1 point)

Responses

boiling point, but not melting point, surface tension, or vapor pressure
boiling point, but not melting point, surface tension, or vapor pressure

melting point and boiling point, but not surface tension and vapor pressure
melting point and boiling point, but not surface tension and vapor pressure

surface tension and vapor pressure, but not melting point and boiling point
surface tension and vapor pressure, but not melting point and boiling point

melting point, boiling point, surface tension, and vapor pressure

incorrect

The correct response is: surface tension and vapor pressure, but not melting point and boiling point.

To determine which properties a student can investigate regarding the electrostatic forces between molecules in a substance, you can analyze the given response options.

Option 1: boiling point, but not melting point, surface tension, or vapor pressure
Option 2: melting point and boiling point, but not surface tension and vapor pressure
Option 3: surface tension and vapor pressure, but not melting point and boiling point
Option 4: melting point, boiling point, surface tension, and vapor pressure

It is evident from the response options that all the given properties can be investigated except for one or more in each option.

Option 1 excludes melting point, surface tension, and vapor pressure. Hence, these properties cannot be investigated.

Option 2 includes both melting point and boiling point but excludes surface tension and vapor pressure. Thus, only the melting point and boiling point can be investigated.

Option 3 allows investigating surface tension and vapor pressure but excludes melting point and boiling point.

Option 4 includes all the properties: melting point, boiling point, surface tension, and vapor pressure. Thus, all of these properties can be investigated in this option.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 4: melting point, boiling point, surface tension, and vapor pressure.
