Interpretation:
In each of the given compounds, determine the kind of intermolecular forces existing between their molecules.
Concept introduction:
The attractive forces existing between molecules are said to be intermolecular forces. These forces are the result of mainly three types of interactions:
(a) Dipole–dipole interactions
(b) Dipole–induced dipole interactions
(c) Induced dipole–induced dipole interactions
There are four types of intermolecular forces:
(a) Dispersion forces: These are the intermolecular forces present in all the molecules and atoms by virtue of the electrons present in them.
(b) Dipole–dipole interactions: These are the forces that exist in all polar molecules. They have permanent dipole in which positive end of one permanent dipole is attracted to the negative end of other.
(c) Hydrogen bonding: These forces exist in those molecules having hydrogen atoms bonded directly to the electronegative elements like fluorine, oxygen, or nitrogen.
(d) Ion–dipole forces: Such types of forces exist between the ionic compound molecules.

- Is it possible to liquefy nitrogen at room temperature (about 25 C)? Is it possible to liquefy sulfur dioxide at room temperature? Explain your answers.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about intermolecular forces is( are) true? a. London dispersion forces are the only type of intermolecular force that nonpolar molecules exhibit. b. Molecules that have only London dispersion forces will always be gases at room temperature (25C). c. The hydrogen-bonding forces in NH3 are stronger than those in H2O. d. The molecules in SO2(g) exhibit dipole-dipole intermolecular interactions. e. CH3CH2CH3 has stronger London dispersion forces than does CH4.arrow_forwardThe enthalpy of vaporization of water is larger than its enthalpy of fusion. Explain why.arrow_forward
- Use Figure 11.7 to estimate the boiling point of carbon tetrachloride, CCl4, under an external pressure of 250 mmHg.arrow_forwardLiquid butane, C4H10, is stored in cylinders to be used as a fuel. Suppose 35.5 g of butane gas is removed from a cylinder. How much heat must be provided to vaporize this much gas? The heat of vaporization of butane is 21.3 kJ/mol.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
- A 0.250-g chunk of sodium metal is cautiously dropped into a mixture of 50.0 g water and 50.0 g ice, both at 0C. The reaction is 2Na(s)+2H2O(l)2NaOH(aq)+H2(g)H=368kJ Assuming no heat loss to the surroundings, will the ice melt? Assuming the final mixture has a specific heat capacity of 4.18 J/gc, calculate the final temperature. The enthalpy of fusion for ice is 6.02 kJ/mol.arrow_forwardWhat is U when 1.00 mol of liquid water vaporizes at 100C? The heat of vaporization, Hvap, of water at 100C is 40.66 kJ/mol.arrow_forward
