Based solely on IMF, list the following substances from highest vapor pressure to lowest vapor pressure: CH3CH2OH , CH3CH2Br , CH3CH3 and BaCl2
Expert Solution
Step 1

The list of the different types of intermolecular forces is as:

Type of IMF Types of species involved
Attractive strength
Ion-Ion Cations and anions only. Very high
Ion-Dipole  Ions and a polar molecule. Stronger
Dipole-Dipole Polar molecules Moderately strong
Dipole-Induced dipole A polar molecule interacting with a non-polar molecule Very weak

Induced dipole-Induced dipole (London Dispersion forces)

Non-polar molecules Very weak

Hydrogen bonding (Dipole-Dipole)

Polar molecules (H of one atom interacts with the electronegative atom of another molecule) Strong
