Question
Chapter 4, Problem 4.57AP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The compound (undecane and pentane) which has higher melting point has to be given.
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.
