Explanation:
The intermolecular forces are the forces that put together the molecules in a substance. When the molecule is polar, it will have partial charges in the atoms, so the molecules will be attracted by electrostatic force, such as an ionic compound (but less effective). The force is called dipole-dipole.
When the molecule is nonpolar, to be together, a partial charged is induced, and then they will be attracted. Because it is induced, the force is weaker then dipole-dipole, and it's called dipole-induced-dipole-induced.
When a polar molecule is formed between hydrogen and an extremely electronegativity element(N, O, and F), the dipole-dipole bond will be stronger, so it has a special name: hydrogen bond.
As stronger is the force, as difficult is to break it, so more difficult will be to boil it. Then:
1. H₂S is polar, so it has dipole-dipole forces, and F₂ is nonpolar, so it has dipole-induced-dipole-induced forces, then H₂S has a higher boiling point.
2. HF has a hydrogen bond, and HBr a dipole-dipole force, so HF has a higher boiling point, because of that, at the same temperature, HF will need a higher pressure to boil, so the vapor pressure (the pressure necessary to boil it) of it will be higher than at HBr.
3. CH₃CH₂OH has a hydrogen bond because there's a bond between hydrogen and oxygen, so it will be stronger than the forces in CH₃OCH₃. Then CH₃CH₂OH has a higher melting point.
4. KCl is an ionic compound, which has stronger forces than the covalent compounds, so KCl will have a higher pressure vapor.
5. In solubilization, "like dissolves like", it means that polar solvents dissolve polar solutes, and nonpolar solvents dissolve the nonpolar solute. CCl₄ is a nonpolar solvent (the tetrahedral geometry makes the dipole forces cancel), so it dissolves nonpolar solutes.
