They are more saturated so therefore can pack together more closely, stronger LDFs

Detailed explanation-1: -The primary intermolecular forces present in most oils and many other organic liquids – liquids made predominantly of carbon and hydrogen atoms, also referred to as non-polar liquids – are London dispersion forces, which for small molecules are the weakest types of intermolecular forces.
Detailed explanation-2: -London dispersion are the weakest of the intermolecular forces which all molecules have, however the larger the surface area the molecule has the more London dispersion force it has. Dipole-dipole is stronger and exists in polar molecules.
Detailed explanation-3: -It is the force of attraction between the molecules of matter. This Intermolecular force of attraction is maximum in solids and minimum in gases. liquids have a stronger intermolecular force between their molecules than gases but weaker than solids.
Detailed explanation-4: -SO2 is a polar molecule due to the electronegativity difference between the S and O atoms. Dipole-dipole forces are generally stronger than LDF forces. The major intermolecular force present in sulfur dioxide molecules is dipole-dipole interactions.
