Question
Chapter 2, Problem 2.69P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason for nearly identical boiling points of Benzene and hexafluorobenzene, despite the fact that hexafluorobenzene has significantly more total electrons than benzene, is to be discussed.
Concept introduction:
Both benzene and hexafluorobenzene do not have dipole moments. The molecules containing polar bonds but having elements of symmetry are non-polar. The relative strength of intermolecular forces between the two given compounds decides the boiling point of the compounds.
