Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A low vapor pressure indicates strong intermolecular forces because the molecules are more strongly attracted to each other, making it more difficult for them to escape the surface of the liquid and enter the gas phase. The other options (low heat of vaporization, low critical temperature, and low boiling point) all indicate weaker intermolecular forces.
