Explanation:
Answer:
the correct answer is 17 significant figures
Since phosphorus is in the 5th group it has the ability to gain or lose electrons
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.
