Interpretation:
The principle intermolecular forces present in
Concept introduction:
The intermolecular forces are the interaction between molecules which is responsible for holding these molecules together. Based on electrostatic interaction, three kinds of intermolecular forces are present. They are dipole forces, induced dipole forces, and hydrogen bonds.
The dipole forces are attractive forces between two permanent dipoles. The interaction is between the positive end of one polar molecule and the negative end of another polar molecule. The induced dipole interaction occurs when an ion or a dipole induces a temporary dipole in an atom or a molecule with no dipole. The induced dipole forces are the attraction forces between molecules having temporary dipoles.

- Which member of each of the following pairs of compounds has the higher boiling point? (a) O2 or N2 (b) SO2 or CO2 (c) HF or HI (d) SiH4 or GeH4arrow_forwardIdentify the kinds of intermolecular forces (London dispersion, dipole-dipole, hydrogen bonding) that are important in each of the following substances. (a) propane (C3H8) (b) ethylene glycol [HO(CH2)2OH] (c) cyclohexane (C6H12) (d) phosphine oxide (PH3O) (e) nitrogen monoxide (NO) (f) hydroxylamine (NH2OH)arrow_forwardWhich of the following compounds would be expected to form intermolecular hydrogen bonds in the liquid state? (a) H2Se (b) HCO2H (formic acid) (c) HI (d) acetone, (CH3)2COarrow_forward
- Consider the iodine monochloride molecule, ICI. Because chlorine is more electronegative than iodine, this molecule is a dipole. How would you expect iodine monochloride molecules in the gaseous state to orient themselves with respect to each other as the sample is cooled and the molecules begin to aggregate? Sketch the orientation you would expect.arrow_forwardWhich should have the higher melting point, MgO or NaCl? (a) MgO (b) Naclarrow_forwardDescribe the formation of hydrogen bonds in propanol, CH3CH2CH2OH. Represent possible hydrogen bonding structures in propanol by using structural formulas and the conventional notation for a hydrogen bond.arrow_forward
- Explain why liquids assume the shape of any container into which they are poured, whereas solids are rigid and retain their shape.arrow_forwardHydrogen bonding occurs between O oxygen atoms of different water molecules hydrogen and oxygen of the same water molecule a hydrogen on one water molecule and an oxygen on another water molecule O hydrogen atoms of different water moleculesarrow_forwardFor each compound in the table below, decide whether there would be any hydrogen-bonding force between molecules of the compound, or between molecules of the compound and molecules of water. name compound hydrogen bromide hypochlorous acid ethane formula or Lewis structure HBr HCIO H H I I HC C-H | | H H Between molecules of the compound? O C yes no yes no O yes no hydrogen-bonding force Between molecules of the compound and molecules of water? 00 00 yes no yes no yes no Xarrow_forward
- Name the type(s) of intermolecular forces that exists between molecules (or basic units) in each of the following species: (a) benzene (C6H6) (b) CH3Cl (c) PF3arrow_forwardWhich compound has the highest melting point: NaCl, CH 4, or H 2SO 4?arrow_forward4. What is the relationship between a liquid's molecular weight and the strength of intermolecular bonds (assume the liquid is only compared to other liquids that lo similar intermolecular bonds)? Use the molecular structures and weights of ethano and methanol, the types of intra- and inter- molecular bonds they make and the observations you made of ethanol and methanol in this investigation to support your answer. What is different about water's molecular structure that makes water not follow this relationship when compared to ethanol and methanol?arrow_forward
