How do intermolecular forces affect the boiling point of a liquid

1 Answer

The Intermolecular forces increase with increasing polarization of bonds. The strength of Intermolecular forces (and therefore impact on boiling points) is ionic > hydrogen bonding > dipole dipole > dispersion. Boiling point increases with molecular weight, and with surface area.
