Does water or methane have a stronger force of attraction between its particles?

Water is a polar molecule whereas methane is a non-polar molecule.
The intra- molecular force in water molecule is much stronger compared top the intra- molecular force between a carbon and a hydrogen in methane.
Water molecule have hydrogen bonding as its intra molecular force.
Hydrogen bonding is the strongest, then comes dipole-dipole and the least strong is the London dispersion force.
The molecular bonding of water is higher than that of methane (binding energy), and the intermolecular bonding of water is higher than that of methane (boiling point).

At sea level water boils at 100 degrees Celsius while methane boils at negative 161 degrees Celsius Which has a stronger attraction between particles?
Water because water has the highest boiling point, < anything.
What is the number of particles in the formula M methane?
The chemical formula of methane is CH4; if you think to atoms methane has 5 atoms.
What type of gas is Methane?
Methane gas is a greenhouse gas used in most industries. It is an alkane (compound with CO2 and hydrogen particles).
Which molecules have a greater attractionfor each other C3H8O molecules in rubbing alchohol or CH4 in molecules in methane gaa?
The C3H8O molecules will have a greater attraction in liquid rubbing alcohol than ch4 molecules in methane gas. This is due to the hydrogen bonding and dipole intermolecular forces that would occur between the polar alcohols. The nonpolar methane and methane gas will only experience London dispersion forces.
What is solubility between methane and water?
The solubility of methane in water is 22,7 mg/L.
At sea level water boils at 100 degrees Celsius while methane boils at negative 161 degrees Celsius Which has a stronger attraction between particles?
Water because water has the highest boiling point, < anything.
Does a subatomic particle have methane?
Any link exist between methane and subatomic particles.
Why the melting point of methane is high?
Methane has an extremely low melting point. This is due to weak intermolecular attraction.
What is the number of particles in the formula M methane?
The chemical formula of methane is CH4; if you think to atoms methane has 5 atoms.
What is the type of particles are present in methane?
Ion
Which phase of a substance are the particles furthest apart?
methane
What happens to the particles in water when it boils?
In solids, particles vibrate and stay in a fixed position. (ice) When melting particles gain more energy and can move more rapidly, this is called the liquid state. (water) As heating further these particles gain more energy and there are now moving totally freely from each other (boiled water).
What type of gas is Methane?
Methane gas is a greenhouse gas used in most industries. It is an alkane (compound with CO2 and hydrogen particles).
What holds gas in a science lab?
In chemistry, substances are defined as three basic types. Solids, liquids, and gases. Each of these substances contain molecules. So, the difference between these types of substances is the intermolecular forces of attraction between these molecules. Substances with strong intermolecular forces of attraction tend to be solids, and substances with weak I.M.F.A.s are either liquids or gases. The difference between a gas and a liquid is that gas molecules move freely with weak I.M.F.A.s. So, liquid has molecules with stronger I.M.F.A.s, and therefore it retains its shape.

What substance has a stronger force of attraction between its particles water or methane?
water has very high intermolecular forces called hydrogen bonding, methane is nearly unaffected by it's neighbor methanes. oxgyen has a high electronegativity value, making the water molecule mostly negative near the oxgyen and positive near the hydrogen atoms. this causes a polar molecule, which are attracted to nearby molecules of water. that's why water has such a high boiling point for being such a small mass molecule. methane has carbon central, four hydrogen's at the "corners". carbon's electronegativity is about 2.6 to hydrogen's 2.1. net the carbon gains these electrons mostly in the covalent bonds, but all four hydrogens become a sort of "positive" zone since they "lose" their bonding electron most of the time to carbon. since all the outer atoms (the hydrogens) for all of the local methane molecules are the same, all this positive charge repels from each other, making for much lower boiling points, little intermolecular attraction. linus pauling won the noble prize in chemistry for his work in this bonding phenomenon.
What type of intermolecular forces are present in fluoro methane?
van der Vaals forces of attraction and dipole-dipole interaction
