Interpretation:
All of the intermolecular interactions present in
Concept introduction:
The boiling point of a compound depends on the intermolecular forces of attraction. As the strength of intermolecular force of attraction increases, the energy required to overcome this barrier of force of attraction increases. The strength of the intermolecular interactions from the weakest to the strongest is as follows:
Dispersion forces < Induced dipole-induced dipole < Dipole-dipole < Hydrogen bonding < Ion-dipole < Ion–ion.
As the strength of intermolecular forces increases, the boiling point of the compound increases.

Calculate the maximum number of possible stereoisomers of your molecule using the following formula: Maximum number of possible stereoisomers = 2n (where n= the number of chiral carbons in your molecule). This calculation does not include E- or Z- isomers for any compounds containing double bonds Type or using a computer program "draw" the possible stereoisomers of the molecule. Note that E-, Z- isomers of each stereoisomer are also possible and would not be accounted for by the formula above; draw any E- or Z- isomers.arrow_forward
