Can you tell me the Relative Intermolecular Force Strength of these compounds from weakest to strongest?

Acetone
Ethanol
Distilled Water

Thanks !

Why? Is this for your homework? We don't do that here. I will give you a hint though. It's all about hydrogen bonds. The strongest dipole has the strongest intermolecular forces.

I think it is neat that if you just Google chemistry forum the reef board is one of the top hits. But if it doesn't pertain to reefing somehow I get suspicious that it is a homework problem. Especially since acetone and reef tanks don't go together at all. Tell me how it is remotely reef related and I'll give you the answer.

Double especially when it is your only post. Nobody answer this unless it turns out to be related to reefing in some manner.
