(a)
Interpretation:
The Lewis structure for the hydrocarbon which is assigned with the octane rating of
Concept Introduction:
The measurement of the ability of a hydrocarbon to ignite properly inside an internal combustion engine is known as the octane number of hydrocarbon. The efficient and smooth combustion corresponds to the large octane number.
Lewis diagram is a representation of the chemical formula of substance with valance electrons of atoms.
(b)
Interpretation:
The Lewis structure for the hydrocarbon which is assigned with the octane rating of
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(c)
Interpretation:
The boiling point of
Concept Introduction:
The boiling point of a substance is defined as a temperature at which a substance gets converted from liquid state to gaseous state. All substances exist in the gaseous state above their boiling point. The boiling point of polar compounds is higher than that of nonpolar compounds.
