IMFs to boiling point and vapor pressure

[Adora Vinhnee 1L]

Hi,

Since more IMFs generally indicate a higher boiling point, how does boiling point relate to vapor pressure?

Hi, molecules with a lower vapor pressure typically have a higher boiling point because the molecules need a lot more energy to equal the atmospheric pressure (which is when boiling will occur). Hope this helps!
