Detailed explanation-1: -If the molecules have similar molar masses and similar types of intermolecular forces, look for the one that is the most polar or that has the most electronegative atoms or the most hydrogen bonding groups. That one will have the strongest IMF’s overall.
Detailed explanation-2: -These forces are important because they help chemists determine the physical properties of a substance, such as its state, its melting and boiling point, etc. The stronger the intermolecular forces, the higher the melting and boiling points are.
Detailed explanation-3: -So now we can define the two forces: Intramolecular forces are the forces that hold atoms together within a molecule. Intermolecular forces are forces that exist between molecules.
