Thank you so much. It makes total sense now. I saw guy in youtube who teaches that whenever I see H-F means its automatically hydrogen bonding.. which is not the case. only if its bonded together. Thank you again
According to my chemistry teacher, the higher the boiling point, the higher the LDF. So why is it that CO2 (it has only LDF) has the lowest boiling point?
You meant the stronger the LDF, the higher the boiling point. It only applies if you are comparing compounds/element that only displays that kind of IMF (e.g. O2 vs CO2). In the video, CO2 has the lowest BP since it only has LDF as its intermolecular force present compared to the other compounds (H2O, CH2F2, MgBr2)
