Based solely on IMF, list the following substances from highest vapor pressure to lowest vapor pressure: CH3CH2OH , CH3CH2Br , CH3CH3 and BaCl2

Expert Solution

Step 1

The list of the different types of intermolecular forces is as:

Type of IMF	Types of species involved	Attractive strength
Ion-Ion	Cations and anions only.	Very high
Ion-Dipole	Ions and a polar molecule.	Stronger
Dipole-Dipole	Polar molecules	Moderately strong
Dipole-Induced dipole	A polar molecule interacting with a non-polar molecule	Very weak
Induced dipole-Induced dipole (London Dispersion forces)	Non-polar molecules	Very weak
Hydrogen bonding (Dipole-Dipole)	Polar molecules (H of one atom interacts with the electronegative atom of another molecule)	Strong
