Why do compounds with strong intermolecular attractive forces have higher boiling points than compounds with weak intermolecular attractive forces?

2 answers

Those intermolecular forces add up to extra holding power; therefore, it is harder to break the bonds from a liquid to a vapor state. That means more energy must be transferred to the liquid and that means a higher boiling point.
