    1. (6 pts) Rank the following compounds based on their boiling point (where 1 = highest boiling point) and provide an explanation for your answer. As part of your answer, please indicate the major intermolecular force that determines the boiling point of each molecule. (Note: the numerical ranking answers will not receive credit without the correct explanation.)

    1. (6 pts) I am starting to look for questions to use on the final exam and you have a chance to help! Write your own “explain” question and then provide the correct answer. Your question/answer must be based on the lecture material covered so far, and of course it must be accurate and fair. (I will select at least one of these student questions to put on the final exam...)
