Question 6 • Chemistry

Which process most likely takes place when the kinetic energy of molecules overcomes the intermolecular forces?

Answer
A
solidification
B
condensation
C
boiling
D
freezing

Explanation

Boiling occurs when molecules gain enough kinetic energy to overcome the intermolecular forces holding them in the liquid. The molecules can then separate and enter the gas phase, so the correct choice is boiling. Solidification and freezing form a solid, while condensation changes a gas into a liquid.
