In the liquid state , which species has the strongest intermolecular forces ? A. CH_(4) B. Cl_(2) C. O_(2) D. HF

To determine which species has the strongest intermolecular forces in the liquid state, we need to consider the types of intermolecular forces present and their relative strengths.1. ** (Methane)**: Methane is a nonpolar molecule and primarily exhibits London dispersion forces (a type of van der Waals force). These forces are relatively weak compared to other types of intermolecular forces.2.2} O_{2} CH_{4} , and .
