Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The molecular weight compound containing carbon and hydrogen only should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Molecular weight (or molecular mass) compound can be determined by ideal gas equation as follows-
The ideal gas behavior is given by the equation.
(b)
Interpretation:
A possible Lewis structure of the compound should be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Lewis structure are diagrams which represents the bonding between atoms of a molecule and the lone pairs of electrons that might be present in the molecule.
(c)
Interpretation:
The various relative bond angles associated with each central atom of compound using VSEPR theory should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The bond angles depends on the type of hybridization of the particular atom in the structure.
(d)
Interpretation:
If the compound is polar or non-polar should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Polar and non-polar of the structure can be identified by seeing electronegativity of atoms in the molecules and symmetry of the structure.
(e)
Interpretation:
The type of intermolecular forces is present for this compound should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Organic compound generally has Van Der Waals force an intermolecular force.
