Question

Why do larger molecules have higher melting and boiling points?
Options
A Because they are heavier
B Because larger molecules have more van der Waals forces
Correct Answer
C Because they have more ionic bonds
D Because they are more reactive
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Larger molecules have more van der Waals forces so have higher melting and boiling points.

Hint

The notes explain this relationship between size and van der Waals forces.
