Chapter 15, Problem 101E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The intermolecular attractions present in ${\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}\text{OH}$ and ${\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}\text{F}$ are to be predicted. The substance that has the higher boiling point and the higher equilibrium vapor pressure is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

Intermolecular and intramolecular are the two types of forces present in a molecule. The force of attraction that exists between different molecules is termed as intramolecular forces. Whereas, the force of attraction that exists between molecules of same type are known as intermolecular forces of attraction.
