(a)
Interpretation:
The type of intermolecular forces present in
Concept introduction:
London Dispersion forces:
London dispersion forces are weak interactions due to the temporary changes in electron density in a molecule. All covalent compound exhibits London dispersion forces. These intermolecular forces are the only intermolecular forces present in nonpolar compounds.
Hydrogen Bonding:
A
Dipole-dipole interactions:
Dipole–dipole interactions are electrostatic interactions between molecules which have permanent dipoles. This interaction is stronger than the London forces but is weaker than ion-ion interaction because only partial charges are involved positive end of a polar molecule will attract the negative end of the other molecule and influence its position

- When a small amount of pentane is in contact with a water droplet on top of a glass table, it forms a very thin film that covers the droplet and part of the table. Why does the pentane spread out and not form a droplet? Why does water form a droplet on glass (and not spread out)? Why do water and pentane not mix? How is the pentane able to "creep" up and across the water droplet to form a film? Please answer the questions by focusing on intermolecular forces.arrow_forwardEssential oils are concentrated liquid containing metabolites extracted from plant sources and are widely used in the production of perfumes. The structures of some of these compounds present in essential oils, along with acetone, are presented below. CH3 H2C CH H2 H3CO, CH2 CH H2C H2C CH FCH2 HO H3C CH2 Compound A MM: 164.2 g/mol Boiling Point: 254 C Compound B MM: 162.19 g/mol Boiling Point: 232 C Compound C MM: 136.24 g/mol Boiling Point: 176 C Determine the most possible boiling point of each of the compounds. Refer to the possible boiling points listed above. An equal volume of COMPOUNDS A, B and C were stored in separate beakers which were left uncovered at room temperature. 1. 2. If the three liquids were allowed to stand for about 10 minutes, which of the following will have the least amount of liquid b. What physical property is the basis of the answer? Among the three liquids, what is the most recommended ingredient of a perfume that will have the most lasting scent? а.…arrow_forwardWhat types of intermolecular forces are present in each compound?arrow_forward
- Why does water have a higher heat of vaporization thandiethyl ether?arrow_forwardChemistry 1. Glycerol, CH2(OH)CH(OH)CH2OH, has a 3 carbon chain with -OH groups coming off of each carbon. This thick, syrup like liquid is used in anti-freeze and as a food additive. Hexaoctane, C18H38, is a greasy wax-like solid at room temperature. Using this information rank molecules in order of increasing boiling point and justify your answer: PCl2F, H2O, SeS3, MgS, Glycerol, CH4, CaS, PF2Cl, Hexaoctane, Nearrow_forwardWhat types of intermolecular forces are present in the following compound?arrow_forward
