B)dipole-dipole interactions
C)hydrogen bonds
D)ion-dipole interactions
E)ion-ion interactions

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dispersion interactions are the only intermolecular interactions listed that increase with increasing surface area, which allows for more rapid evaporation and a higher vapor pressure. The other listed interactions involve stronger attractions that can hinder evaporation and decrease vapor pressure.
