Identify the key type of inter-"particle" attractive force that each compound below is capable of using to interact with others of its own kind.
Then answer this question:
Which correctly lists the three compounds in order of increasing strength of "inter-particle" attractive forces (from weakest to strongest)?
H2O, PF3, KCl
KCl, PF3, H2O
KCl, H2O, PF3
PF3, H2O, KCl
PF3, KCl, H2O
(d) is correct option.
As PF3 has weak dipole dipole intractioin.and H2O has Hydrogen bonding while KCl has strong ionic bond.
