Chapter 11, Problem 81E

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The strongest type of intermolecular attraction that exists in ${\text{C}}_{\text{5}}{\text{H}}_{\text{12}}$ is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Intermolecular and intramolecular are the two types of forces present in a molecule. As the intermolecular forces of attraction in a molecule increase, the molecules interact with each other more strongly. So, the temperature at which the liquid boils also increases.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The strongest type of intermolecular attraction that exists in ${\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}-\text{Cl}$ is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Intermolecular and intramolecular are the two types of forces present in a molecule. As the intermolecular forces of attraction in a molecule increase, the molecules interact with each other more strongly. So, the temperature at which the liquid boils also increases.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The strongest type of intermolecular attraction that exists in ${\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}-\text{OH}$ is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Intermolecular and intramolecular are the two types of forces present in a molecule. As the intermolecular forces of attraction in a molecule increase, the molecules interact with each other more strongly. So, the temperature at which the liquid boils also increases.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

The strongest type of intermolecular attraction that exists in ${\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}-\text{O}-{\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}$ is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Intermolecular and intramolecular are the two types of forces present in a molecule. As the intermolecular forces of attraction in a molecule increase, the molecules interact with each other more strongly. So, the temperature at which the liquid boils also increases.
