Chapter 12, Problem 27E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The four types of intermolecular force are to be listed in order of their increasing relative strength.

Concept introduction:

The interaction between the molecules which results in the attractive forces is termed as the intermolecular force.

The strength of intermolecular forces determined the physical state of the molecule. The intermolecular foes are categorized into four types as dispersion forces, dipole-dipole forces, hydrogen bonding and the ion-dipole forces.
