1. Intermolecular forces of attraction include ionic, dipole-dipole, hydrogen bonding, and dispersion forces. These forces determine physical properties like boiling point. 2. Stronger intermolecular forces require more kinetic energy to overcome, resulting in higher boiling points. Polar substances have stronger intermolecular forces than nonpolar substances. 3. The boiling point of a liquid is reached when the vapor pressure of the escaping molecules equals the pressure of the air above the liquid. Stronger intermolecular forces make it harder for molecules to break away from the liquid, increasing the boiling point.
