The strongest attractive force is that created by the random movement of electron clouds - they are referred to by several names i) van der waals, ii) London (dispersion) forces, iii) instantaneous induced dipoles.

Which is more soluble in water propane or ethanol?
Ethanol---it has stronger intermolecular forces due to its ability to hydgrogen bond (because it has an -OH group) that propane. Both of them have similar dispersion forces because they have around the same number of electrons, so the presence of hydrogen bonding in ethanol will give ethanol the greater intermolecular forces and hence the higher surface tension.
Is isopropyl alcohol has a greater intermolecular force than water?
no you can tell by their boiling points because water has stronger hydrogen bonding (intermolecular forces) it has a higher heat capacity and boiling point at 100 degrees Celsius while isopropyl has a lower boiling point
What intermolecular force gives water unique properties?
Hydrogen bonding
Which has a greater volume 1000g of water or 1000g of denatured ethanol?
there the same.
What has a higher boiling point alcohol or water?
Water has a higher boiling point that alcohol (ethanol). The main reason for this is because water has stronger intermolecular forces holding the molecules together.
Why the coefficient of volume expansion of the water different with coefficient of volume expansion of the ethanol?
Since there is extensive hydrogen bonding in case of water (two -OH per molecule) unlike ethanol (which has one -OH per molecule) so the intermolecular force difference is there between water and ethanol. Thus the coefficient of volumetric expansion will also be different, 'coz intermolecular force is a direct variable effecting this coefficient......
What is the intermolecular force that exists between Na and water?
Sodium react with water, any intermolecular force between sodium and water.
What type of intermolecular force has water?
Hydrogens Bonds

What are the force present in water?
The intermolecular forces in water is hydrogen bonding.
Does water expand when heated and why?
Yes... When water is heated, the intermolecular force of attraction between water atoms become weak and they start losing the intermolecular force of attraction... at temperature known as boiling point of water this intermolecular force become so weak that water lose its state and converts into gasious state... but this expansion is not considerable... :)
Is isopropyl alcohol has a greater intermolecular force than water?
no you can tell by their boiling points because water has stronger hydrogen bonding (intermolecular forces) it has a higher heat capacity and boiling point at 100 degrees Celsius while isopropyl has a lower boiling point
Why does ethanol have a higher boiling point than methanol?
ethanol has a lower amount of intermolecular forces than water. These forces keep the molecules more uniformly in place in a liquid or solid. due to water's ability to have the intermolecular force of hydrogen bonding (which is very strong), the water molecules need more energy to break up these bonds, while ethanol needs less energy to break these bonds... energy in this case is heat, so water needs more heat to heat up and vaporize and ethanol needs less.
What bond intermolecular force is found in water?
Hydrogen bonds
Which takes up greater volume 1000 g of water or 1000 g of ethanol?
The 1000 grammes of ethanol will occupy a greater volume because its specific gravity is lower than that of water. s.g. water = ~1.0 s.g. ethanol = ~ 0.794
What type of intermolecular force causes the dissolution of NaCl in water?
Ion-dipole force
What force of a water molecule works against evaporation?
This is the intermolecular force of hydrogen bonds.
