C. Explain the following occurrences in terms of molecular polarity and intermolecular forces. 1. Propane can be liquefied, the reason why it is produced as liquefied petroleum gas. (a) What intermolecular force is present between propane gases that makes them attract one another and be liquefied? (b) As soon as we open our gas stove, it is immediately converted back to gas state. Explain it in terms of the strength of the intermolecular force present between propane molecules.
