Question
Chapter 3, Problem 3.29P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The hydrogen bonding between two molecules of acetic acid
Concept introduction: Intermolecular forces are those interactions among molecules by which the molecules either attract or repel each other. There are mainly four types of intermolecular interactions these are electrostatic, Van der Waals, dipole-dipole and hydrogen bonding. The electrostatic force is strongest and among the three types of intermolecular forces in covalent compounds van der Waals forces are weakest, dipole-dipole is intermediate and hydrogen bonding is the strongest.

Students have asked these similar questions
True or False.
Organic compounds have covalent bonds and their intermolecular forces break fairly easily.
Carbon atoms form double or triple bonds with carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and hydrogen.
Electrons are shared by the bonding nuclei as their atomic orbitals overlap.
Arrange the following acids in the increasing order of their solubility in water: p-ClC6H4COOH, CH3COOH, CH3(CH2)3COOH
Would you expect butanone, CH;COCH;CH3 where the CO is a double bond, to have a higher or
lower boiling point than acetone? Explain your reasoning.
Propanol, CH3CH2CH2OH, has a molar mass of 60.1 g/mol and a boiling point of 97.4°C. Use
intermolecular forces to explain why propanol has a higher boiling point than butane or
acetone.
