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 alcohol exist in a liquid state while smaller hydrocarbon tend to be gases?

Precisely because of the size of the molecules. Larger molecules have a greater tendency to stick together, because there are more places where they can interact, and thus, a greater total force.

intermolecular force


Which has a higher boiling point CO2 or SiO2?

intermolecular force between the sio2 molecule is greater than that of the co2 molecule....the co2 molecule is in it gaseous state while that of the sio2 is crystalline making the intermolecular force stronger than that of the co2 molecule.

Is high vapor boiling point a week intermolecular force?

Boiling point is a property not a force; but a high boiling point indicate a strong intermolecular force.


Which kind of force is a dipole -dipole force?

Intermolecular attraction


What is the intermolecular force of Ar?

The intermolecular force in Ar (argon) is London dispersion forces, which are the weakest type of intermolecular force. This force is caused by temporary fluctuations in electron distribution around the atom, leading to temporary dipoles.


What interaction is not a type of intermolecular force?

Intramolecular forces are not intermolecular forces !


What is the intermolecular force found in CH5OH?

If you mean CH3OH, then the strongest intermolecular force is hydrogen bonding as this is an alcohol containing and OH group. There are other other forcs such a sLondon dispersion forces but these are weaker as CH3OH doesn't have many electrons.


What is the intermolecular force of BF3?

The intermolecular force in BF3 is London dispersion forces. This is because BF3 is a nonpolar molecule, so the only intermolecular force it experiences is the temporary weak attraction between temporary dipoles.


Which has a greater intermolecular force CH3CH3 or H2CO?

H2CO has a greater intermolecular force than CH3CH3. This is because H2CO can form hydrogen bonds due to the presence of a highly electronegative oxygen atom, while CH3CH3 can only participate in weaker dispersion forces.
