Objectives
By the end of this lesson, students should be able to
• Better understand the relative strengths of intermolecular forces.
• Relate intermolecular forces to physical properties
H2 and H2
H2 and HBr
PREDICT: HF and HF
Analysis
Considering the observed IMF and strength of those forces, complete the following questions with your best
predictions.
1) Rank the following molecules from lowest to highest boiling point: H 2, Br2, and F2. Explain your
prediction based on IMF.
2) Predict which of the following has the highest boiling point: HF or HBr. Explain your prediction based
on IMF.
3) You can play with this simulation to observe how different IMF can impact boiling point (boiling temp)

4) Consider water, H2O. Predict how water’s boiling point compares to HBr and HF? Explain your
prediction based on IMF.
5) Look up the boiling points of H2, H2O, Br2, F2, HBr, and HF. Were your predictions correct? Explain.
