What do we mean when we say that a liquid is volatile? Do volatile liquids have large or small vapor pressures at room temperature? What strengths of intermolecular forces occur in highly volatile liquids?

Two molecules that contain the same number of each kind of atom but [hat have different molecular structures are said to he isomers of each other. For example, both ethyl alcohol and dimethyl ether (shown below} have the formula C2H6Oand are isomers; Based on considerations of intermolecular forces. which substance would you expect to be more volatile? Which would you expect 10have the higher boiling point? Explain. methyl ether hyl alcohol msp;CH3OCH3CH3CH2OH

What term is used to describe a substance that readily evaporates at room temperature because of a high vapor pressure?

An amorphous solid can sometimes be converted to a crystalline solid by a process called annealing. Annealing consists of heating the substance to a temperature just below the melting point of the crystalline form and then cooling it slowly. Explain why this process helps produce a crystalline solid.
