Question
Chapter 2, Problem 2.68P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The strength of intermolecular forces in naturally occurring unsaturated fatty acid containing only cis double bonds and a saturated fatty acid is to be compared.
Concept introduction:
Fatty acids are carboxylic acids. They usually contain an even number of carbon atoms, and they are unbranched. Intermolecular forces are dependent on polarization of bonds. In saturated fatty acids, a straight chain of carbon atoms with all single bonds enables the molecule to be spread over a larger surface area as compared to a fatty acid containing carbon-carbon double bonds.

3) Answer the following questions on structural imperfections.
a) Classify the structural imperfections according to their dimensions and give one example
for each.
b) What kind of dislocation(s) may cause the unit step of edge slip shown in figure below?
Explain briefly.
Fatty acids are molecules with a carboxylic acid on one end and long hydrocarbon chain on the other. The sodium salts of fatty acids (such as sodium strearate, shown below) are commonly used in soaps to trap nonpolar dirt and grease particles.
Illustrate and explain on a molecular level how multiple sodium stearate molecules can come together to trap dirt particles.
a).
) Write the chemical formula for each compound.
b) Order the compounds from lowest to highest boiling point and explain your reasoning in great detail. Use the concept of London dispersion forces to rationalize your answer clearly explaining what such forces are.
c) Of the atoms contained in the molecules above, order them in sequence from least to most polarizable and clearly explain your reasoning.
d) Which molecule do you think is the most viscous and why?

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.
