There are four type of intermolecular forces: ionic, dipole-dipole, hydrogen bonds and London disperssion forces.
CH4 have no ions, so there are not ionic forces.
CH4 is a symetrical molecule, so there cannot be a net dipole in the molecule, so there is not dipole-dipole interaction.
Hydrogen bonding is only possbile when H is bonded to N, O or F, beacuse they are the atoms that considerable higher electgronegativy than hydrogen.
So, the only intermolecular force present in CH4 molecules is London disperssion forces, which is a force present in any molecule and is the weakiest one. That explains the low melting and boiling points of CH4.
Given by the name of these compounds, they are formed if one or more hydrogen atoms are substituted for halogens
X = Cl, Br, I, F
<span>What all chemical reactions have in common is that energy is released in various forms. Sometimes it's heat or light when there's an explosion, or theres gas and odors or a change in color, or sometimes solids are formed as a deposit. This all show that a reaction occurred and are used as proof.</span>
chemical that appears as a colorless liquid, is used in a wide range of cleaning and personal care products, including hair dyes and bleaches, toothpaste and mouthwashes, bathroom cleaners and laundry stain removers. Hydrogen peroxide can also be found in over-the-counter first aid antiseptics, and it is used as a bleaching agent in some food products. It has other consumer and industrial uses as well, including water treatment.
