Molecules that have strong intermolecular forces are held together more strongly. In order for a substance to boil, it's molecules must separate and gain energy. Because molecules with stronger intermolecular forces are held together more strongly it takes more energy to move them apart, hence the higher 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.
A discrete atom or molecule is one with very weak intermolecular forces, causing them to have low melting and boiling points.
Anything with a covalent bond has a relatively low boiling point because they intermolecular forces are weak. On the other hand ALOT of energy is required to melt ionic compounds
The characteristic that indicates the presence of weak intermolecular forces in a liquid is a low heat of vaporization. Another characteristic that indicates the presence of weak intermolecular forces in a liquid is a high vapor pressure.
Heat is simply an expression of how fast molecules are vibrating and moving about, for the purposes of state of matter. Intermolecular bonds are what stop this motion from happening, so the stronger this bond, the higher the temperature needs to be for the compound to melt or boil.

It has a low boiling point because it has weak intermolecular forces in its covalent bonds
KCl is an ionic substance (strong intermolecular forces) and CO2 is a non-polar covalent substance (weak intermolecular forces)
Its got weak van der waals forces as it is a simple molecule - these intermolecular forces are weak so require less energy to break, leading it to have a low boiling point.
A discrete atom or molecule is one with very weak intermolecular forces, causing them to have low melting and boiling points.
By contrast, the forces of attraction are very weak. The result of these feeble intermolecular forces is that the melting point is very low.
CH3NH2 has the higher boiling point as it has a hydrogen bond between the molecule which is a stronger intermolecular attractive force, whereas CH3CH3 only has covalent bonds which are weaker intermolecular attractive forces.

Being a covalent compound, the intermolecular forces between the Cl2O molecules are weak and easily overcome. Therefore little heat energy, in terms of low boiling point is involved.
In liquids, molecules are close together while in gases, molecules are very far apart. As liquids are heated, temperature increases and the energy in the molecules increase. The molecular motion becomes so great that the intermolecular forces between molecules are interrupted. In other words, the molecules move so fast that they break free from the liquid and form a gas. Polarity affects boiling temperature. The greater the intermolecular forces are, the higher the boiling temperature is because it takes more energy to overcome the intermolecular forces. Hydrogen bonding is a particularly strong type of intermolecular force. For example, water, which has hydrogen bonding, therefore needs a high temperature before the energy in the moving molecules are enough to overcome the strong hydrogen bonds. Molecules with hydrogen bonding have higher boiling temperatures than nonpolar molecules with weak London Dispersion Forces.
