List the following from strongest to weakest.

• ion-dipole bonds

• Hydrogen bonds

• dipole-dipole interactions

• London Dispersion Forces / Van Der Waals Forces

Water is liquid at room temperature, but carbon dioxide is not. Why is that?

• CO₂ is straight, while H₂O is bent.

• H₂O has weaker intermolecular forces due to dipole-dipole interactions.

• H₂O has stronger intermolecular forces due to hydrogen bonding.

• CO₂ has less mass than H₂O.
