ELICIT
 What phase of matter does this illustration represent?
ANSWER: Liquid

 Why are the particles of the substance very far from each other?
ANSWER: The forces of attraction are neither too strong nor too weak,
which is why the particles are slightly apart.

 How will you describe the intermolecular forces of the particles?

ANSWER: The intermolecular forces between the particles are neither too
strong nor too weak.

ENGAGE
Directions: Relate the properties of liquids to intermolecular forces. Tell whether each
property exhibits strong or weak intermolecular forces by putting a check (√) on the appropriate
column.

1. ANSWER: Surface Tension

2. ANSWER: Viscosity

3. ANSWER: Boiling Point

4. ANSWER: Vapor Pressure

EXPLORE
Direction. Analyze the pictures and graph of the properties of liquids and complete the
table by answering the questions under prediction. Provide explanation for each.

The paper clip will float
on the surface of the
water.
This is due to water's
surface tension, which can
support the weight of
small, lightweight items
like paperclips. If the paper
clip is carefully placed on
the surface of the water, it
will not sink.

Syrup has the thickest

consistency among
liquids. The syrup's
thickness is attributed to
its dense particle
structure.
Syrup

As the temperature rises

in a sealed bottle, the
internal pressure rises
above the external
pressure. When you
open the bottle, the
particles swiftly escape
Hot Water and create sound waves.

It has reached a
temperature where the
vapor pressure matches
the ambient pressure.
The phase transitioned
to either vapor or gas.

It will turn into its liquid

phase.

Acetone has a lower heat of

vaporization than water.
Our hands generate enough
heat to enhance the kinetic
energy of particles, leading
Acetone to their vaporization.

POST – TEST
MULTIPLE CHOICE. Read and understand the following questions. Choose the letter
of the
best answer.
1. What happens to the viscosity of syrup when the temperature increases? ANSWER: B
A. Becomes higher C. May become higher or lower
B. Becomes lower D. Nothing will happen
2. Why does an insect float on water? ANSWER: A
A. Because water has high surface tension.
 B. Because water has low surface tension.
C. The density of the insect is high.
D. The density of the insect is low.

3. Which situation shows high vapor pressure? ANSWER: B

A. Open container C. Particles slowly escaping from the container
B. Low intermolecular forces D. High intermolecular forces

4. Which of the graph below tells the relationship between boiling point and vapor
pressure? ANSWER: C
A. C.

B. D. None of these

5. How does an intermolecular force affect the heat of vaporization? ANSWER: B

A. The weaker the intermolecular forces of attraction, the higher the heat of
vaporization.
B. The stronger the intermolecular forces of attraction, the higher the heat of
vaporization.
C. When the intermolecular forces of attraction change, the heat of vaporization is
not affected.
D. There is no relationship.
