In one to two sentences, describe an experiment that would show that intramolecular forces (attractions between atoms within molecules) are stronger than intermolecular forces (attractions between molecules).(2 points)
One experiment that could demonstrate the strength of intramolecular forces over intermolecular forces is measuring the boiling points of two compounds with similar molecular weights but different types of bonding, where the compound with stronger intramolecular forces would have a higher boiling point due to the greater energy required to break the bonds within the molecule compared to the intermolecular attractions between molecules. Another experiment could involve comparing the dissolution rates of two solid compounds in a solvent, where the compound with stronger intramolecular forces would dissolve at a slower rate due to the higher energy required to break the bonds within the molecule.
