In general, intramolecular forces determine the ________ properties of a substance and intermolecular forces determine its ________ properties.
chemical, physical
London Dispersion Forces tend to ________ in strength with increasing molecular weight.
increase
The conversion of a solid to a liquid is called ________.
melting
The initial discovery of a liquid crystal resulted from studies of a ________ derivative.
cholesterol
The principal source of the difference in the normal boiling points of ICl (97 °C; molecular mass 162 amu) and Br2 (59 °C; molecular mass 160 amu) is both dipole-dipole interactions and London dispersion forces.
false
The boiling points of normal hydrocarbons are higher than those of branched hydrocarbons of similar molecular weight because the London-dispersion forces between normal hydrocarbons are greater than those between branched hydrocarbons.
true
Heats of vaporization are greater than heats of fusion.
true
Under ordinary conditions, a substance will sublime rather than melt if its triple point occurs at a pressure above atmospheric pressure.
true
Molecules containing many double bonds do not exhibit liquid-crystal behavior because free rotation can occur only around single bonds making these molecules rigid.
false
