CH4,CH6,NH3,H2O

a. Boilingpoint:WithhigherIMFs,moleculesaremoreattractedtoeachotherandthereforeittakesmoreenergyforonemoleculetomovefromtheliquidphaseintothegasphase.Thus,BPincreaseswithincreasingIMFs.

b. Viscosity:Sinceviscosityisresistancetoflow,thegreatertheattractionbetweenmolecules,themoreresistantitistoflow,andthehighertheviscosity.

c. Vaporpressure:Vaporpressureistheforceofthemoleculesofthesubstanceinthevaporphasepushingdownontheliquidphase.SinceittakesincreasingenergytoremoveamoleculefromtheliquidphaseasIMFsincrease,therewillbefewermoleculesinthegasphaseandthusthevaporpressurewillbelower.

d. Surfacetension:Surfacetensionistheresistanceofaliquidtoincreasingitssurfacearea.Thus,withincreasingIMFs,surfacetensionincreases.
