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).
1 answer
One way to demonstrate the strength of intramolecular forces over intermolecular forces is by comparing the energy required to break the bonds within a single molecule (intramolecular) to the energy required to separate the molecules from each other (intermolecular) using a technique like spectroscopy or chemical reactions.
