1. Consider the following substances and determine the strongest type of intermolecular force for each. Explain your reasoning.
A beaker of CH3OH (l)
A beaker of BF3 (l)
A beaker of NH3 (l)
A solution of CH3Cl (aq) and Ca2+ (aq)
A flask of CO2 gas
A solution of HBr (aq)
paraffin (large nonpolar molecule)
2. Explain why candle wax (paraffin) is a solid at room temperature, vegetable oil (medium sized molecule) is a liquid, and carbon dioxide is a gas.
