Answer:
H2 < CH3Cl < HF
Explanation:
The intermolecular forces are the forces that bond the molecules together in a substance. There are three types of these forces:
- Dipole induced -dipole induced, or London dispersion -> Is the weakest and is presented in nonpolar molecules, in which a dipole is induced and so the molecules are joined together;
- Dipole-dipole -> Is stronger than the London dispersion and occurs in a polar molecule. In this case, the dipole already exists (partial positive and negative charges), so the poles are attracted;
- Hydrogen bond -> It's the strongest and is formed when the hydrogen is bonded with a higher electronegativity element (F, O, and N).
So, the molecule of H2 is linear and formed by the same element, so, is nonpolar, and has London dispersion forces. The molecule of CH3Cl has 3 nonpolar bonds (C-H), and one polar bond (C-Cl), so it's polar and has dipole-dipole forces. And the HF molecule has hydrogen bonds.
*A polar bond is a bond formed by elements with different electronegativities.
Thats allllllll otttt but ill help
step by step
Great question! An element is one specific symbol. For example, Mg would be an element, N would be an element, and O would be an element. A compound is several elements that come together. Since Mg(NO3)2 is made of three separate elements (Mg, N, and O), Mg(NO3)2 is a compound.
