Answer #1

4 . KCl has strongest intermolecular forces as KCl is an ionic compound which has strong electrostatic forces of attraction and it exist in Crystal's form .

3. CH3CH2OH Ethanol consist of Hydrogen bonds between the various molecules and hydrogen bonds are stronger than van der waals forces bit weaker than ionic bonds .

2. CBr4 , both CBr4 and F2 consist of weak van der waals or London Dispersion forces . But magnitude of forces is greater in CBr4 than F2 due to larger size of CBr4 than F2 .

1 .F2 , weakest intermolecular forces , weak van der waal forces exist between various F2 molecules.

For more detailed work , please refer to image as attached below.

PA4EO Order of Strength of Intermolecular forces will be as: F2 <CBry < CH3CH₂OH <kce 0 3 @ forces of attraction exist Explan
