Question

1. what determines the boiling point of a substance?

a. the color of the substance
b. the volume of the substance
c. the intermolecular forces between particles
d. the shape of its container

Explanation:

The boiling - point of a substance is related to the energy required to overcome the intermolecular forces between its particles. Color, volume, and container shape do not directly affect the boiling - point. Stronger intermolecular forces require more energy (higher temperature) to convert the substance from liquid to gas.

Answer:

C. The intermolecular forces between particles
