A quiz question I believe.
Homework or Chemistry might be a better category.
I feel you should do this on your own.

a)Hydrogen bonding is present in water, to a lesser extent in ammonia, and not at all in methane. When hydrogen bonding is present, more energy must be invested to overcome the intermolecular forces. b)At 25C and 1 atm. chlorine is a gas, bromine a liquid, and iodine a solid because of the Van der Waal's force (London dispersion force) which increases with mass. Chlorine, the lighest of the three, is in a gaseous phase because less energy was required to overcome the Van der Waal's force. c)calcium oxide melts at a much higher temperature than does potassium chloride because calcium oxide has a much higher lattice energy due to the high charges of Ca and O (2and -2 respectively) vs. the charges of KCL (1 and -1 on the ions respectively). d) ethanol is a liquid rather than a gas because unlike propane, ethanol contains an O-H group giving it hydrogen bonding which explains the higher boiling point of ethanol.
