Expert Solution
Step 1

The vapor pressure can be used to predict the strength of intermolecular forces. 

The vapor pressure is the measure of a substance by which it can convert to vapor form . So higher vapor pressure means that substance can convert to vapors easily. This means that intermolecular forces of that substance are weak.
