the molecule itself is non-polar and the only intermolecular force present will be weak London dispersion forces. Ammonia (NH 3) and hydrogen fluoride (HF) both also have higher boiling points ...

The longest hydrocarbons have very high boiling points. They leave the column as a hot liquid called bitumen. Shorter hydrocarbon molecules have weaker intermolecular forces and lower boiling points.

As the field of surface science and nanotechnology continues to advance, the Surface Force Apparatus will remain an indispensable tool for unraveling the mysteries of intermolecular forces and ...
