Question

What happens to the intermolecular forces between the molecules of the

substance when it is heated.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The heat of fusion (heat required to melt a solid) and heat of vaporization (heat required to vaporize a liquid) are determined by the strength of the Intermolecular Forces. Substances with high IMF will have higher melting and boiling points. It will require more energy to break the IMF.

Answer 2

Heating and cooling can change the kinetic energy of the particles in a substance, and so, we can change the physical state of a substance by heating or cooling it. Increasing the pressure on a substance forces the molecules closer together, which increases the strength of intermolecular forces.
