Question
Chapter 2, Problem 2.22P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Whether the maximum number of carbon atoms for water-soluble
Concept introduction:
Solubility depends on the nature of intermolecular forces (IMFs) in the solute and solvent. If both have the same type of IMFs, the solubility is high.
Polar compounds dissolve in polar solvents, while nonpolar compounds dissolve better in nonpolar solvents.
In compounds that contain both polar and nonpolar groups, the number of carbon atoms in the nonpolar part influences solubility. In a given class of compounds, the polar part of the molecule is fixed, so the solubility in polar solvents decreases as the length of the nonpolar (alkyl group) part of the compound increases.
In case of two types of compounds with different polar groups but same alkyl group, the solubility depends on the nature of the polar group.

(see attatchement) First time you guys answered it was wrong, trying again. **** The answer 3-methylbut-1-ene you gave yesterday was WRONG . Please help with correct answer. This is what the question has as well: Alkanes are called saturated hydrocarbons because each carbon atom has the maximum number of hydrogen atoms. In contrast, alkenes and alkynes are unsaturated because they contain double or triple bonds that reduce the number of hydrogen atoms in the compound. When naming unsaturated hydrocarbons, a suffix reflects the type of multiple bond in the compound: ene is used for alkenes (double bond), and yne is used for alkynes (triple bond). For cyclic alkenes and alkynes, the ring is numbered such that the double or triple bond is between the first two carbon atoms. For straight-chain molecules, the numbering starts at one end of the chain, so the location of the double or triple bond must be specified in the name.arrow_forward

They are weaker than chemical bonds, but they play an important role in associations between molecules, such as forming mixtures or complex structures found in biomolecules. Most intermolecular forces are due to the unequal distribution of electrons in a molecule, leading to partial charges. The degree to which an atom attracts electrons toward itself in a molecule is its electronegativity. Atoms with the same or similar electronegativities (with differences of 2.0) form ionic bonds, and those with modest differences in electrnegatvities (between 0.4 and 2.0) form polar covalent bonds. Polar bonds are indicated with a +, where the + is on the atom with lower electronegativity (and a partial positive charge) while the is on the more electronegative, partially negative charged atom.
