(a)
Interpretation: The given compounds in each group are to be ranked in the order of increasing strength of intermolecular forces.
Concept introduction: Intermolecular forces are also known as non-covalent interactions. The interactions present between molecules are known as intermolecular forces. A functional group present in a molecule decides the type of interaction. The increasing order of intermolecular force strength is as follows:

- Dimethyl ether and ethanol have the same molecular mass. Dimethyl ether is a gas at room temperature, and ethanol is a liquid at room temperature. Explain these observations.arrow_forwardMethanol is fairly volatile and evaporates quickly if spilled. Methanol is also absorbed quite readily through the skin. If, in the laboratory, methanol accidentally spilled on your clothing, why would it be a serious mistake to just let it evaporate?arrow_forwardIf compound A has a stronger intermolecular force than compound B, whose boiling point should be higher. What are the reasons?arrow_forward
