1 and 2 the forces holding water molecules together are stronger than the forces holding alcohols molecules together these forces are stronger in water due to hydrogen bonding the intermolecular forces forces that hold the water together are stronger than alchol because water has hydrogen bonding hydrogen bonding is hydrogen being attracted to oxygen or flourine or chloroine the electronegativity differences are larger the forces holding the bonds are stronger its like hydrogen is holding on to oxygen strongly different types of forces are lomdon dispersion forces like helium which have low boiling point they have nothing holding them together water has hydrogen bonds alcohol doesnt have the hydrogen bonds water has and geometry vsper model polar and hydrogen bonds as water so theyre weaker.
The vertical columns (groups) of the periodic table are arranged such that all its elements have the same number of valence electrons. All elements within a certain group thus share similar properties.
