Interpretation:
The parts are to be answered by considering the given compounds.
Concept Introduction:
The Lewis structure of a molecule is a representation of the molecule in which valance electron of an atom shown around as dots.
The polarity of the molecule depends upon the difference of electronegativity between the atom present in the molecule.
Hydrogen bonding occurs when the molecule has hydrogen atom directly bonded to either oxygen, fluorine or nitrogen atom.
Dipole-dipole forces occur when positive end of a polar molecule attracts the negative end of the other polar molecule.
Dispersion forces are weakest intermolecular forces. The electron of two neighbor atoms occupy the positions that make the atom form temporary dipoles.
The boiling point of the molecule depends upon the intermolecular forces and the molar mass of the compound.

- What are intermolecular forces? How do they differ from intramolecular forces? What are dipole-dipole forces? How do typical dipole-dipole forces differ from hydrogen bonding interactions? In what ways are they similar? What are London dispersion forces? How do typical London dispersion forces differ from dipole-dipole forces? In what ways are they similar? Describe the relationship between molecular size and strength of London dispersion forces. Place the major types of intermolecular forces in order of increasing strength. Is there some overlap? That is, can the strongest London dispersion forces be greater than some dipole-dipole forces? Give an example of such an instance.arrow_forwardThe compounds ethanol (C2H5OH) and dimethyl ether (CH3OCH3) have the same molecular formula. Which is expected to have the higher surface tension? Why?arrow_forwardSilane SiH4, phosphine (PH3), and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) melt at 185 C, 133 C, and 85 C, respectively. What does this suggest about the polar character and intermolecular attractions of the three compounds?arrow_forward

If you cup your hand around the bottom bulb, the volatile liquid in the boiler boils, and the liquid moves to the upper chamber. (a) Using your knowledge of kinetic molecular theory and intermolecular forces, explain how the hand boiler works. (b) Which of the following liquids would be best to use in the hand boiler? Explain.arrow_forward
