A substance consisting of which molecule shown below should have a higher boiling point?
(a) The molecule on the left, SCO, because it comes later in the periodic table.
(b) The molecule on the left, SCO, because it has less symmetry.
(c) The molecule on the right, OCO, because it has more symmetry.
(d) The molecule on the right, OCO, because it has more mass.
To determine: The correct option for the statement “A substance consisting of which molecule shown below should have a higher boiling point?”
Answer:
The correct option for the statement “A substance consisting of which molecule shown below should have a higher boiling point?” is option (b).
Explanation:
The dipole. is the segregation of charges. It happens because of difference in the values of electronegativities.
In the
In
The
Thus, the
Conclusion:
Therefore, the correct option for the statement “A substance consisting of which molecule shown below should have a higher boiling point?” is option (b).
