Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of intermolecular forces: These are forces that act between molecules, affecting their physical properties. Common types include hydrogen bonding, dipole-dipole interactions, and London dispersion forces.
Define heat of vaporization: This is the amount of energy required to convert a given amount of a substance from a liquid to a gas at constant temperature and pressure.
Consider the relationship between intermolecular forces and heat of vaporization: Stronger intermolecular forces require more energy to overcome in order to vaporize the substance.
Analyze the effect of increasing intermolecular forces: As these forces become stronger, the molecules are held together more tightly, requiring more energy to separate them during vaporization.
Conclude the expected change in heat of vaporization: With stronger intermolecular forces, the heat of vaporization is expected to increase because more energy is needed to overcome these forces.
