← ScienceWhich consequence results when intermolecular forces fail holding hydrogen fluoride’s structure?
A)Decreased material melting point✓
B)Increased acid dissociation strength
C)Faster molecular vibrational rates
D)Elevated viscosity within fluid
💡 Explanation
Decreased materials melting points arise from failed intermolecular forces like hydrogen bonding; because less energy is needed to separate molecules during phase transitions. Therefore, hydrogen fluoride's melting point plummets, rather than have an accelerated acid dissociation or increased viscosity.
