Are intermolecular forces of attraction strong?
the strength depends on the molecule in question, but they are strong
Explain why oil does not dissolve in water.?
The main intermolecular forces between water molecules are hydrogen bonds which are pretty strong as far as intermolecular forces go. Between hydrocarbon chains (oil) the main intermolecular force are London force which are weaker. For two liquids to be miscible the intermolecular forces between them have to be similar in strength or they won't dissolve. Water and oil have different strengths of intermolecular bonds so don't mix.
Do the molecules of alkanes have strong intermolecular forces and high melting points?
No, alkanes are non polar compounds and have low intermolecular attraction and low melting points.
Is hydrogen bond a biologically weak bond?
Biologically, hydrogen bonds are considered to be strong intermolecular forces.
Is Hydrogen bonding is a strong attractive force.?
Not particlarly it is weaker than the electrostaic attraction between ions but is the strongest of the intermolecular forces.
What is a sentence for intermolecular force?
Intermolecular forces shown by the dotted lines not by strong covalent bonds.
Are intermolecular forces of attraction strong?
the strength depends on the molecule in question, but they are strong
Why liquids have a definite volume but no shape?
The intermolecular forces are not sufficiently strong.
How melting and boiling points are affected by intermolecular forces?
The stronger the intermolecular forces, the higher the melting point and boiling point. The weaker the intermolecular forces, the lower the melting and boiling points are.
Does KCl have a higher boiling point than CO2?
KCl is an ionic substance (strong intermolecular forces) and CO2 is a non-polar covalent substance (weak intermolecular forces)

What is the difference between elastomer and fiber?
The major difference difference arises on the basis of the forces... In Elastomers, the polymer chains are held together by weakest intermolecular forces while in fibers, the intermolecular forces are strong like hydrogen bonding.
Process of vaporization require an input of energy?
Yes, the process of vaporization does require an input of energy. The energy is required to break the intermolecular forces of a given substance. The intermolecular forces is usually very strong.
What does a high melting point temperature indicate about a substance?
Strong Intermolecular Forces attract the molecules
Do the molecules of alkanes have strong intermolecular forces and high melting points?
No, alkanes are non polar compounds and have low intermolecular attraction and low melting points.
Why do gases difuses but not solid?
The intermolecular forces holding gas molecules together are not very strong and thus the molecules are free to move around freely. This allows diffusion. The intermolecular forces holding molecules of a solid together are rather strong, and the molecules thus cannot move very freely. This prevents diffusion.
Is hydrogen bond a biologically weak bond?
Biologically, hydrogen bonds are considered to be strong intermolecular forces.
