What would happend to the bond angle if a bonding pair of e-was replaced with a lone pair of electrons in a molecule?
The bond angle would decrease.

What would have a higher boiling point, CCl4 or CCl2H2? Explain using IMFs?
CCl2H2, it has dipole-dipole interactions, CCl4 only has LDF which is weaker
500
What are intramolecular forces?
forces within a molecule that hold atoms together, ie bonds
