Electrostatic forces between charges depend on the product of
the sizes of the charges, and the distance between them.
We should also mention the item about whether the charges are
both the same sign or opposite signs. That determines whether
the forces will pull them together or push them apart, which is a
pretty significant item.
Answer:
The correct option is A
Explanation:
Firstly, it should be noted that the freezing point of a substance can be assumed to be melting point of that substance because a substance will normally change from liquid to solid (freezes) at the same point it changes from solid to liquid (melts). For example, water freezes at 0°C and also starts melting at 0°C.
Thus, the substance with the lowest melting point among the substances mentioned in the question is alcohol (ethanol) with the melting point of -114°C. Hence, <u>ethanol also has the lowest freezing point thereby freezing at the lowest temperature.</u>
