Interpretation: To choose the molecule having the higher boiling point and to give a brief account for the intermolecular forces that influenced the boiling point of the corresponding molecule.
Concept Introduction:
The set of repulsive and attractive force between molecules that result from the polarity between neighboring molecules is represented as intermolecular force. There are four types of intermolecular forces:
- Hydrogen bonding
- London dispersion force
- Ion – dipole force
- Dipole – Dipole force
Ion – dipole force is a strong intermolecular force as it contains both ionic and polar bonds.
Hydrogen bond: Hydrogen is bonded to strong electronegative atom like oxygen, nitrogen etc.
Dipole – Dipole: This force takes place between two polar compounds.
London dispersion force: This force is present in all compounds and is a weak force.
As the molecular mass increases the energy required to get over the intermolecular forces increases

- Rubbing alcohol is the common name for 2-propanol (iso- propanol), C3H7OH. (a) Draw the three-dimensional structure of the 2-propanol molecule and predict the geometry around each carbon atom. (b) Is the 2-propanol molecule polar or nonpolar? (c) What kinds of intermolecular attractive forces exist between the 2-propanol molecules? (d) The isomer 1-propanol has the same molecular weight as 2-propanol, yet 2-propanol boils at 82.6 °C and 1-propanol boils at 97.2 °C. Explain the difference.arrow_forwardWhich of the following liquids is held together by hydrogen bonding? i) methano l ii) petrol iii) glycerol iv) ethanal (acetaldehyde) Using your knowledge of Lewis structures, deduce the structure of the cation PF4+.

(The suffix hydrate from the Greek word hydor ("water") means "compound formed by the addition of water.") OH The actual chemical structure of carbohydrates doesn't look anything like water molecules bonded to carbon atoms (see sketch at right). But it is nevertheless possible to chemically extract all the hydrogen and oxygen from many simple carbohydrates as water, leaving only carbon behind. If you search the Internet for "reaction of sulfuric acid and sugar" you will find some impressive videos of this.
