A simulation uses the simple particle model to represent two substances, J and K, which consist of small molecules.
| Substance | Boiling point in °C |
|---|---|
| J | 58 |
| K | 126 |
Explain why the simple particle model cannot explain the difference between the boiling points of J and K. Suggest which substance has stronger forces between its particles.
