Part 1: The structures of carbon disulfide and carbon dioxide are shown below with their boiling points. Explain why CS2 has a higher boiling point than CO2. Be specific about particulate interactions and intermolecular forces. IMG 2217 Part 2: Below are the structures of water and octane (C8H18), along with their boiling points. Water has a lower boiling point than octane! Explain why, being specific about the particulate-level interactions and intermolecular forces. (Remember, each point on a line is a carbon surrounded with the appropriate number of hydrogen atoms to make an octet). IMG 2218
