Why are the low boiling liquids called volatile liquids?

Open in App

Solution

Concept: Step 1: definition: The temperature, at which a liquid boils and changes rapidly into a gas at atmospheric pressure, is called boiling
point of the liquid. Step 2: Explanation:
1)The boiling point of the liquids helps to compare the magnitude or strength of the inter-particle forces
of attraction present in them. 2)When the force of attraction are greater, the boiling point of the liquid will be more.
There fore,the low boiling of liquids are called volatile liquids.
Final answer:The low boiling of liquids are called volatile liquids.
