a.
To identify:
The strongest attractive force operating between molecules of the given compound (methane,
Introduction:
The molecules connect to other molecules in major two states “solids” and “liquids”. The molecules connect due to the attractive forces acting among them. These forces of attraction result in the formation of physical characteristics (viscosity, melting point, and boiling point) of molecules.
b.
To identify:
The strongest attractive force operating between molecules of the given compound (water,
Introduction:
The molecules connect to other molecules in major two states “solids” and “liquids”. The molecules connect due to the attractive forces acting among them. These forces of attraction result in the formation of physical characteristics (viscosity, melting point, and boiling point) of molecules.
c.
To identify:
The strongest attractive force operating between molecules of the given compound (chloroform,
Introduction:

- Cooking oil floats on top of water. From this observation, what conclusions can you draw regarding the polarity or hydrogen-bonding ability of molecules found in cooking oil?arrow_forward8.36 Why are dispersion forces attractive?arrow_forwardConsider the following formulas for n-pentane and neopentane: CH3CH2CH2CH2CH3 -Pentane Both compounds have the same overall formula (C5H12, molar mass = 72.15 g/mol), yet n-pentane boils at 36.2C whereas neopentane boils at 9.5C. Rationalize the differences in the boiling points between these two nonpolar compounds.arrow_forward
