Answer: Mothballs have weak intermolecular forces.
No all substances do not behave like mothballs at normal conditions. Example: benzene , chloroform
Explanation:
Sublimation is a process of converting a substance from solid state to gaseous state without the formation of liquid at constant temperature.
A substance which undergoes sublimation is called as sublimating substance.
As mothballs is made of napthalene which has weak inter molecular forces of attraction between its molecules, it directly sublimes into gaseous state without leaving any residue and is called as a sublimating substance.
Not all substances behave like mothballs at normal conditions. Example: benzene , chloroform
The correct answer would be the fourth option. Hydrochloric acid has a higher boiling point than fluorine molecule because the former is a polar molecule which means that it has stronger bonds than fluorine which is a non-polar molecule. Stronger bonds require more energy to break these bonds.
