1.

Critical temperature for `CO_(2)` and `CH_(4)` are `31.1^(@)C` and `-81.9^(@)C` respectively. Which of these has stronger intermolecular forces and why ?

Answer» Higher the critical temperature, more easily the gas can be liquefied, i.e., greater are the intermolecular forces of attraction. Hence, `CO_(2)` has stronger intermolecular forces than `CH_(4)`.
