Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The type of intermolecular force present in Chloroform has to be given.
Concept introduction:
Intermolecular forces:
Intermolecular forces are like cohesive forces, acting between the molecules. The overall stability of a compound depends on how strong the molecules are held together. Intermolecular force is concerned about the overall stability of a substance. A stable substance has stronger intermolecular forces.
