What type of intermolecular forces exist in a hydrocarbon?

In almost all hydrocarbons, the only type of intermolecular forces that exists is the London forces (Van der Waals forces).

What bonds are broken when water is heated to boiling?

The primary bond that is broken when water is boiled is hydrogen bonds. There are other weaker intermolecular forces at work as well, but these are much weaker and not as significant. Once the hydrogen bonds are broken, the water molecules are not held as tightly together and can escape the liquid as gas.

Why is cracking useful?

cracking is useful because large hydrocarbon molecules are broken into smaller ones. And these are needed for petrol and are more reactive.

Explain how the size of hydrocarobon molecules affects the strength of intermolecular forces?

The longer the hydrocarbon chain, the stronger the intermolecular forces. This leads to higher boiling point, and these chains are likely to be less useful.
