Which has the strongest intermolecular force?

Think it through first, then pick an option.

  1. a H₂
  2. b N₂
  3. c Cl₂
  4. d I₂
Answer and explanation

Correct answer: d I₂

I₂ is a solid; between solid covalent molecules the van der Waals force is larger.

Why the other options are wrong

  • a H₂: H₂ is a gas, with very little attraction between its molecules.
  • b N₂: N₂ is a gas, with very little attraction.
  • c Cl₂: Cl₂ is a gas, so the attraction is small.
