Which molecule, or , would exhibit stronger London Dispersion Forces and why?
because it is smaller.
because it has more electrons and is more polarizable.
because it is more polarizable.
Both have equal LDFs because they are both hydrocarbons.
Explain why n-pentane has a higher boiling point than neopentane, even though they have the same molecular formula.
n-pentane has stronger dipole-dipole forces.
n-pentane has stronger hydrogen bonds.
n-pentane has a more linear shape, allowing for greater London Dispersion Forces.
Neopentane has a more linear shape, allowing for greater London Dispersion Forces.
Which of the following molecules exhibits dipole-dipole forces?
Which molecule, or , would exhibit stronger dipole-dipole forces and why?
because chlorine is more electronegative than bromine.
because bromine is more electronegative than chlorine.
Both have equal dipole-dipole forces because they are both halogens.
Neither exhibits dipole-dipole forces.
Given the boiling points of butane and acetone, explain the difference based on intermolecular forces.
Butane has stronger hydrogen bonds.
Acetone has stronger London Dispersion Forces.
