Chapter 10, Problem 78QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

In the increasing order of the strength of intermolecular forces, the given substances are to be arranged.

Concept Introduction:

The order of the strength of the three types of intermolecular forces in molecules of a similar size is as follows:

Hydrogen bonding force $>$ dipole-dipole force $>$ London dispersion force

London dispersion forces are present in all non-polar and polar molecules, but dipole-dipole and hydrogen bonding forces are present only in polar molecules.
