Solution Steps

Step 1: Understanding Colligative Properties

Colligative properties are properties of solutions that depend on the number of solute particles in a given amount of solvent, rather than the type of particles. These properties include boiling point elevation, freezing point depression, vapor pressure lowering, and osmotic pressure.

Step 2: Analyzing the Given Options

We need to determine which of the given options correctly describes what colligative properties depend on:

  • Number of hydrogen bonds
  • Number of dipole-dipole interactions
  • Number of covalent bonds
  • Number of particles
Step 3: Identifying the Correct Option

Colligative properties are influenced by the number of particles in the solution, regardless of their nature (ions, molecules, etc.). Therefore, the correct option is "number of particles."

Final Answer

\(\boxed{\text{number of particles}}\)
