• London dispersion forces

• Dipole-dipole forces

• Hydrogen bonds

HF molecules can form...

• London dispersion forces

• Dipole-dipole forces

• Hydrogen bonds

BeCl₂ molecules can form...

• London dispersion forces

• Dipole-dipole forces

• Hydrogen bonds

CH₃Cl molecules can form...

• London dispersion forces

• Dipole-dipole forces

• Hydrogen bonds

Factor(s) that influence the strength of London dispersion forces

• Molecular size

• Molecular shape

• Molecular polarity

Answer explanation

Molecular polarity is for dipole-dipole forces

Which one has the highest boiling point?

• CH₄

• SO₂

• H₂O

Answer explanation

H₂O has the highest boiling point because it can form the strongest type of intermolecular force - HYDROGEN BONDING.

Type of intermolecular force present in I₂, Br₂, and Cl₂.

• dipole dipole
• H-bond
• dispersion
• metallic

Intermolecular forces are the forces

• within molecules
• between molecules
