Which of the following is not a property of liquid state?
Options
- AIntermolecular force of attraction in a liquid is quite large
- BAll liquids accompanied by cooling on evaporation
- CLower the boiling point of a liquid, greater is its vapour pressure at room temperature
- DA liquid boils at high temperature at the top of a mountain than at the sea level
Correct answer
D. A liquid boils at high temperature at the top of a mountain than at the sea level
Step-by-step solution
We know that boiling point falls on decreasing the pressure. At mountain air pressure is low so liquid boils at lower temperature at the top of mountain than at the sea level.
