Worked practice questions

Intermolecular attractive forces are named in honour of:

  1. Van der Waals
  2. Van der Wilde
  3. Van der Welde
  4. Van der Walde
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. Van der Waals

1. These forces act between molecules rather than within them. 2. They are called van der Waals forces, after Johannes van der Waals. 3. So the correct answer is van der Waals. _Source: syllabus Chemistry, Ch 5 'States of Matter'_

Johannes van der Waals was a scientist of which nationality?

  1. Swedish
  2. Dutch
  3. Danish
  4. Polish
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. Dutch

1. The forces carry his name. 2. He was a Dutch scientist. 3. So the correct answer is Dutch. _Source: syllabus Chemistry, Ch 5 'States of Matter'_

Dispersion forces are otherwise known as:

  1. London forces
  2. Lisbon forces
  3. Latvian forces
  4. Lateral forces
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. London forces

1. These are the weakest of the van der Waals forces. 2. Dispersion forces are also called London forces. 3. So the correct answer is London forces. _Source: syllabus Chemistry, Ch 5 'States of Matter'_
