(a)
Interpretation:
The intermolecular forces present in Methyl
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
(b)
Interpretation:
The intermolecular forces present in But-2-ene have to be given.

- What types of intermolecular attractive forces can be found between the two molecules with the following structure? Circle the strongest one.arrow_forwardwhich of these compounds have the highest boiling point? and which one is the lowest? (does it have to do with hydrogen bonding?)arrow_forwardWhich is the most correct statement regarding the melting points? C Non-polar molecular compounds have the highest melting points due to their strong intermolecular forces of attraction. Non-polar molecular compounds have the highest melting points due to their vanderwals forces. lonic compounds have the highest melting points due to their strong crystal lattice structure. Polar molecular compounds have the highest melting points due to their strong intermolecular forces of attraction. lonic compounds have the highest melting points due to their vanderwals forces.arrow_forward
