Question

Identify the Intermolecular forces from STRONGEST to WEAKEST (strongest on the top) and place the following compounds in the appropriate row by identifying which Intermolecular forces they have. Then rank the compounds from lowest boiling point to highest. CO2, Ne, H2O, HCl, HF

Answer 1

strongest ionic > ion-dipole > dipole-dipole > london dispersion weakest

NOTE: Hydrogen bonds are strongest dipole-dipole IMF.

Answer 2

C02 is a non polar molecule, thus having dispersion forces, H2O has hydrogen bonding, HCl has dipole dipole forces, Ne has dispersion forces and HF has hydrogen bonding
