Question

water (h₂o) is a liquid at room temperature. ammonia (nh₃) is a gas at room temperature. both are polar covalent compounds. which compound most likely has the strongest intermolecular forces? water ammonia

Explanation:

Intermolecular forces affect the physical state of a substance. Stronger intermolecular forces keep molecules closer together, often resulting in a liquid or solid state at room - temperature. Water is a liquid and ammonia is a gas at room temperature. Liquids have stronger intermolecular forces than gases under the same conditions.

Answer:

A. water
