Interpretation: Ammonia condenses at
Concept Introduction: The electronegativity of the atoms involved determines the bond polarity. The bond polarity is increased by large differences between the electronegativity of the atoms that are bonded.
Answer to Problem 35LC
Ammonia is polar, while nitrogen is a nonpolar molecule. Ammonia condenses at
Explanation of Solution
The ammonia condenses at
The molecules of nitrogen are nonpolar and lack intermolecular attraction. In contrast, ammonia molecules are polar and exhibit intermolecular attraction. More polar molecules will attach more strongly to one another and condense faster than less polar molecules.
Ammonia is polar, while nitrogen is a nonpolar molecule. Ammonia condenses at
