Answer is: intramolecular attractions are stronger.
Intramolecular attractions are the forces between atoms in molecule.
There are several types of intramolecular forces: covalent bonds, ionic bonds.
Intermolecular forces are the forces between molecules. The stronger are intermolecular forces, the higher is boiling point of compound, because more energy is needed to break interaction between molecules.
There are several types of intermolecular forces: hydrogen bonding, ion-induced dipole forces, ion-dipole forces andvan der Waals forces.
Hydrogen bonds are approximately 5% of the bond strength of covalent C-C or C-H bonds.
Hydrogen bonds strength in water is approximately 20 kJ/mol, strenght of carbon-carbon bond is approximately 350 kJ/mol and strengh of carbon-hydrogen bond is approximately 340 kJ/mol.
20 kJ/350 kJ = 0.057 = 5.7 %.
Physical property
Have a nice day!
The element neon, in period 2, has the most mass.
Atoms are not created or destroyed by chemical reactions. Also, matter is neither created nor destroyed, it just changes form. ... The Law of Conservation of Mass states that in a chemical reaction the total mass of reactants is equal to the total mass of products.
