<span>Coal, oil and natural gas are are called fossil fuels because they are composed of the remains of organisms that lived as long as 500 million years ago. These organisms, such as phytoplankton, became incorporated into the bottom sediments and then were converted, with time, to oil and gas.</span>

Because that's where they come from.  Coal, oil, and natural gas are the products
of dead dinosaurs rotting in the ground under great pressure for millions of years.

A student compares the boiling point of substances having different intermolecular forces. which dependent variable did the stud
Gwar [14]

A student compares the boiling point of substances having different intermolecular forces. <u>Boiling points of various substances</u> is the dependent variable that student most likely use.

<h3>Does the nature of intermolecular forces present in different substance affect their boiling points?</h3>

The boiling point of a substance is proportional to the strength of its intermolecular forces, the higher the boiling point, the stronger the intermolecular forces. We can compare the strengths of intermolecular forces by comparing the boiling points of different substances.

<h3>What properties are affected by intermolecular forces?</h3>

Intermolecular forces are measured by boiling points.

Intermolecular forces increase as bond polarization increases.

Ionic > hydrogen bonding > dipole dipole > dispersion is the order of the strength of intermolecular forces (and thus their impact on boiling points).

<h3>How can you determine strong and weak intermolecular forces?</h3>

Substances with strong intermolecular forces are very attracted to one another and are held together tightly. These substances require a great deal of energy to separate, whereas substances with weak intermolecular forces are held together very loosely and have weak interactions.
