RANK their boiling points solely based on the IMFAs.

Molecule List the IMFAs present Boiling Point Ranking

(1 – highest BP,

5 – lowest BP)

SO3

ICl3

CH3F

CCl3Br

CCl3OH

Answer 1

The order of strengths of intermolecular forces is: ion-ion > H-bonding > dipole-dipole > London dispersion . Compounds with stronger intermolecular forces have higher boiling points.
