Question

Define boiling point . Give two factor on which it depends?

Answer 1

Boiling point is the temperature at which a liquid turns into vapour

It depends on:

i) Pressure


At high pressure, a liquid will boil at high temperature


ii) Strength of intermolecular forces 

These are force that hold particles together. The stronger the intermolecular

forces, the higher the boiling point. These forces may be ionic bonds, Van

der Waals forces,  dipole-dipole interaction and hydrogen bonding.
