What is the intermolecular ammonia and ammonia?
The intermolecular forces are hydrogen bonding.
How do intermolecular forces determine a substance's state?
If the intermolecular forces are great enough they can hold the molecules together as a liquid. If they are even stronger they will hold the molecules together as a solid. Water has nearly the same mass as methane and ammonia molecules, but the greater molecular forces between water molecules causes the water to be liquid at room temperature, while ammonia and methane, with weaker intermolecular forces, are gases at room temperature.
Boiling points water and methane?
Water boils at a higher temperature than methane because water is a polar compound. Each molecule is held together chemically. Each molecule is held to other molecules by hydrogen bonding. With Methane, it is every molecule for itself.
What type of intermolecular forces are present in fluoro methane?
van der Vaals forces of attraction and dipole-dipole interaction
What experimental property directyl correlates with the strength of the intermolecular forces?
Boiling point
Why do ammonia has higher melting and boiling point than methane?
Ammonia (NH3) has hydrogen bonding intermolecular forces, whereas methane (CH4) does not. In addition, ammonia is polar, and so also has dipole-dipole forces and methane does not. Thus, it takes more energy (higher temperature) to boil and melt ammonia than it does methane.

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.
What are the intermolecular forces in ammonia?
Hydrogen Bonding
What is the relationship between the strength of the intermolecular forces and boiling point?
Boiling can only occur when the kinetic energy of heat overcomes the intermolecular forces holding a liquid together, so the greater the intermolecular forces, the higher the boiling point.
How do intermolecular forces affect the boiling point of liquid?
the stronger the intermolecular force, the more energy is required to boil the liquid ...
What is the predominant intermolecular force of methane ammonia nitrogen triflouride?
Correct answers from Mastering Chemistry: NH3 - hydrogen bonding CH4 - Dispersion forces NF3 - dipole-dipole
What can be said about boiling point of a liquid?
The stronger the intermolecular forces in a liquid, the higher the boiling point. -APEX
How does polarising power effect boiling point?
Polar molecules have relatively weak intermolecular forces. Intermolecular forces and boiling point have a direct relationship, so due to the fact that polar molecules have weak forces, their boiling points will be lower.
Do stronger intermolecular forces result in higher or lower boiling points?
An intermolecular force has both a boiling point and melting point
Is the boiling point higher for compounds with a high viscosity?
Viscosity is the thickness of the compound. The thicker the compound the higher the intermolecular forces. The higher the intermolecular forces the higher the boiling point is.
