Intermolecular Forces Question: Match each of these substances with the property it exhibits. The Substances: NH3 CH3CH2CH=CH2 CH3(CH2)5CH3 He The properties: largest dispersion forces largest dipole dipole forces none of the properties listed the lowest boiling point
I figured it out myself! NH3 has the largest dipole-dipole forces CH3CH2CH=CH2 has none of the properties listed CH3(CH2)5CH3 has the largest dispersion forces He has the lowest boiling point This is because generally dipole-dipole forces and hydrogen bond interactions are stronger that dispersion forces. And dispersion forces increase with increasing molar mass, however, so the strengths of these intermolecular interactions overlap significantly as the molar mass increases.
