Chemistry: Principles and Practice
- The compounds ethanol (C2H5OH) and dimethyl ether (CH3OCH3) have the same molecular formula. Which is expected to have the higher surface tension? Why?arrow_forward8.41 What is the specific feature of N, O, and F that causes them to play a role in hydrogen bonding?arrow_forwardConsider two different organic compounds, each with the formula C2H6O. One of these compounds is a liquid at room conditions and the other is a gas. Write Lewis structures consistent with this observation, and explain your answer. (Hint: The oxygen atom in both structures satisfies the octet rule with two bonds and two lone pairs.)arrow_forward
- 8.39 Under what circumstances are ion-dipole forces important?arrow_forwardThe normal boiling point of SO2 is 263.1 K and that of NH3 is 239.7 K. At −40 °C, would you predict that ammonia has a vapor pressure greater than, less than, or equal to that of sulfur dioxide? Explain.arrow_forwardConsider 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_forward
- Explain why liquids assume the shape of any container into which they are poured, whereas solids are rigid and retain their shape.arrow_forward8.43 Identify the kinds of intermolecular forces (London dispersion, dipoledipole, or hydrogen bonding) that are the most important in each of the following substances. (a) methane (CH4) , (b) methanol (CH4OH) , (c) chloroform (CHCl3) , (d) benzene (C6H6) , (e) ammonia (NH3) , (f) sulfur dioxide (SO2)arrow_forward
