What causes the Boiling point to decrease according to intermolecular force?
Accepted Answer
Boiling point decreases as intermolecular forces decrease. Intermolecular forces are the attractive forces that hold molecules together in a liquid state. The strength of these forces determines the amount of energy required to overcome them and cause the liquid to boil. Weaker intermolecular forces require less energy to overcome, resulting in a lower boiling point.
