Interpretation: The reason corresponding to the fact that the permanent dipole moment of is larger than the permanent dipole moment of , yet the boiling point of is much higher than that of is to be stated.
Concept introduction: The intermolecular interaction between non-polar or least polar molecules is known as dispersion force. This is also known as, London force in honor of the Fritz London’s great work on it. The strength of this force depends upon the surface area of the molecule. The strength of force is directly proportional to the surface area.
To determine: The reason corresponding to the fact that the permanent dipole moment of is larger than the permanent dipole moment of , yet the boiling point of is much higher than that of .
