A student compares the boiling point of substances having different intermolecular forces. Boiling points of various substances is the dependent variable that student most likely use.
The boiling point of a substance is proportional to the strength of its intermolecular forces, the higher the boiling point, the stronger the intermolecular forces. We can compare the strengths of intermolecular forces by comparing the boiling points of different substances.
Intermolecular forces are measured by boiling points.
Intermolecular forces increase as bond polarization increases.
Ionic > hydrogen bonding > dipole dipole > dispersion is the order of the strength of intermolecular forces (and thus their impact on boiling points).
Substances with strong intermolecular forces are very attracted to one another and are held together tightly. These substances require a great deal of energy to separate, whereas substances with weak intermolecular forces are held together very loosely and have weak interactions.
