Question
Chapter 2, Problem 2.12P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Which of the given compounds is expected to have a higher boiling point is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The compound with strong intermolecular forces has a higher boiling point. Hydrogen bonding requires a potential H-donor and acceptor atom. The electronegative atom such as N, O, or F attached directly to a hydrogen atom serves as a potential H-bond donor. While atoms with lone pairs such as N, O, and F serve as potential H-bond acceptors. In the given two molecules, the greater the number of potential H-bond donors and acceptors, the greater is the strength of hydrogen bonding, thus, higher is the boiling point.
