INTERMOLECULAR?

Please help me choose the right answer.. (Intermolecular forces)?

  • An intermolecular force is weaker than a bond (ionic or covalent) because... A. the intermolecular force is between molecules, not within a molecule as a bond is B. intermolecular forces affect the boiling points of substances (stronger forces mean higher boiling points) C. the intermolecular force is between substances with smaller positive and negative charges than are the positive and negative charges that hold bonds together. D. covalent bonds are between atoms in a molecule. intermolecular forces are between molecules.

  • Answer:

    I would guess A because it's the only one that answers the question. B and C just describe properties of intermolecular forces, while D makes a generalized statement. A is the only one that compares IMFs and bonds. Hope that helped, I don't want to be wrong though!

Ignore the two symmetric molecules c) and e) Read your class notes to see if the teacher or book lists H-bonds as a separate force from dipole-dipole forces. If so, eliminate NH3 Put the remaining polar molecules in order by differences in electronegativities.
