Explain their differences in viscosity in terms of the size and shape of their molecules and their IMFs. The (weaker)(stronger) the intermolecular forces, the higher the viscosity. Ethylene glycol and ethanol both exhibit hydrogen bonding, but since ethylene glycol contains (more)(fewer) opportunities for hydrogen bonding than ethanol, its viscosity is higher. Acetone has a lower viscosity than ethanol since its dipole-dipole force is (weaker)(stronger) than hydrogen bonding. Diethyl ether has a lower viscosity than acetone since it is (more)(less) polar than acetone. (b) Explain their differences in surface tension in terms of the size and shape of their molecules and their IMFs. The (weaker)(stronger) the intermolecular forces, the higher the surface tension. Ethylene glycol and ethanol both exhibit hydrogen bonding, but since ethylene glycol contains (more)(less) opportunities for hydrogen bonding than ethanol, its surface tension is higher. The surface tension of ethanol and acetone are roughly the same even though acetone does not exhibit hydrogen bonding. The acetone molecules are able to orient themselves in a (planar),(nonplanar) manner to create a tight surface to match the hydrogen bonding of ethanol. Diethyl ether has a lower surface tension since it is (planar),(nonplanar) and is(more)(less) polar than acetone.
States of Matter
The substance that constitutes everything in the universe is known as matter. Matter comprises atoms which in turn are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Different atoms combine together to give rise to molecules that act as a foundation for all kinds of substances. There are five states of matter based on their energies of attraction, namely solid, liquid, gases, plasma, and BEC (Bose-Einstein condensates).
Chemical Reactions and Equations
When a chemical species is transformed into another chemical species it is said to have undergone a chemical reaction. It consists of breaking existing bonds and forming new bonds by changing the position of electrons. These reactions are best explained using a chemical equation.
