if the molecules of two different substances have a similar size but the molecules of one substance are polar while the molecules of the other substance are nonpolar, what is most likely true about the substances?\nthe polar substance has a lower boiling point than the nonpolar substance.\nthe nonpolar substance has a lower boiling point than the polar substance.\nboth substances have similar volatilities.\nboth substances have similar solubilities.
Answer
Answer:
The nonpolar substance has a lower boiling point than the polar substance.
Brief Explanations:
Polar molecules have dipole - dipole forces or hydrogen bonding (if applicable), which are stronger than the London dispersion forces in nonpolar molecules. Stronger intermolecular forces require more energy to break, so polar substances generally have higher boiling points.
