Question

1)

A)

two properties are consider in comparing the strength of intermolecular forces in solids and liquids. those are :

1) vapour pressure

2) boiling point.

vapour pressure is more , intermolecular forces strength is less .

if boiling point is high , then intermolecular forces strength is high .

B)

order of increasing boiling point :

CO2 < CH3Br   < CH3OH   < RbF

ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points. so RbF has high boiling point.

CH3OH , hydrogen bond is present. so it has second highest boiling point.

Explanation / Answer

intermolecular forces in solids and in liquids? B) Arrange the following in order of increasing boiling point: RbF, CO2, CH3OH, CHsBr. Explain your reasoning.
