Explain, in molecular terms, why oil and water do not mix.
The physical and chemical properties of a molecule depend on its structure. Here are two ball-and-stick models for two compounds that have the
same molecular formula but different structures and different chemical properties.
Ethanol
Dimethyl ether
Consider the two products CO2 and H2O for the combustion of ethanol. Use what you have learned about molecular geometry, polarity, and intermolecular forces to explain why CO2 is a gas at room temperature but H2O is a liquid at room temperature.
