Question
how does the droplet diameter compare between polar and nonpolar substances? a droplets are larger for polar substances b droplets are smaller for polar substances c droplets are smaller for nonpolar substances
Polar substances have stronger intermolecular forces (such as hydrogen - bonding and dipole - dipole interactions) compared to non - polar substances (which mainly have London dispersion forces). Stronger intermolecular forces cause polar substances to have higher surface tension, which leads to the formation of smaller droplets.
