Place the following compounds in order of increasing strength of intermolecular forces.
CO₂ F₂ NH₂CH₃

Question

Place the following compounds in order of increasing strength of intermolecular forces. CO₂ F₂ NH₂CH₃ A)NH₂CH₃ < CO₂ < F₂ B)F₂ < NH₂CH₃ < CO₂ C)NH₂CH₃ < F₂< CO₂ D)F₂ < CO₂< NH₂CH₃ E)CO₂ < NH₂CH₃ < F₂

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

F₂ has the weakest intermolecular forces (London dispersion forces), CO₂ has stronger forces (also London dispersion but more significant due to larger size), and NH₂CH₃ has the strongest forces due to hydrogen bonding.
