(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
(b)
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:

- Methanol 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_forwardBased on the given structures, determine which has a higher boiling point and why?arrow_forwardList each set of a compound in order of increasing boiling point.a) hexane, octane, and decanearrow_forward
- Arrange the following compound groups in the increasing order of their property indicated: Propanol, Propane, Propanal (boiling point)arrow_forwardWhich compound in each pair has the higher boiling point? Which compound in each pair has the higher melting point? a. CH 4 or C 2H 6 b. C 2H 6 or CH 3OH c. HBr or HCl d. C 2H 6 or CH 3Brarrow_forwardExplain why methanol and water are completely miscible, while pentanol is only slightly soluble in water?arrow_forward
- i. Why is the boiling point of the aldehyde greater than that of the alkane? ii. Why is the boiling point of alcohol the highest? iii. Explain why the solubility of aldehydes and alcohols falls as the molecules get bigger.arrow_forwardArrange these compounds in order of increasing boiling point. Explain your reasoningarrow_forwardWhen methanol and glycerol mix with water, some heat is produced. Why does this happen, and why does methanol produce more heat than glycerol when mixed with water?arrow_forward
- Explain the following concept Why methanol is more soluble in water than propanol?arrow_forwardExplain why these compounds (1-propanol, ethylene glycol, and ethanethiol) experience different intermolecular forces based on their molecular structure.arrow_forwardWhich compound has the highest boiling point?arrow_forward
