Intermolecular Forces

CH (methane) is a non-polar molecule. In its gaseous state, the intermolecular forces between CH molecules are weak London dispersion forces, which are a type of Van der Waals’ force. There is no hydrogen bonding, covalent bonding between molecules, or ionic interaction.

Boiling points depend on intermolecular forces. has hydrogen bonding, which raises its boiling point compared to and , which have weaker forces.
