Which factor is generally responsible for high melting points? high intermolecular forces of attraction low intermolecular forces of attraction van der Waals forces London dispersion forces
This sounds like Chemistry, which I have taken but do not recall this. Upon some research: https://sciencing.com/factors-affect-melting-point-8690403.html Does any of this ring a bell? Until we get a chem expert in here, lol
I have to go though, so hopefully @Bearclaws72 can assist you. This section seems promising though: "https://sciencing.com/factors-affect-melting-point-8690403.html" @ThisGirlPretty @Pixel @dude
@Vocaloid I need ya
Well I know that stronger intermolecular forces affect melting points, i think higher intermolecular forces means higher melting point
So first off, we can eliminate B
Have I lost you? @nuclearbxmb
No.
Do you know what Van der Waals and London dispersion forces are?
No, I don't to be honest but I took a chance just choose A. Higher intermolecular forces , it turned out the be correct answer.
Yeah, well for reference "London dispersion force is the weakest intermolecular force" Van der Waals - "weak, short-range electrostatic attractive forces between uncharged molecules, arising from the interaction of permanent or transient electric dipole moments."
They both were related to low intermolecular forces, which makes A the best answer
