What is the strongest IMF in pure 2-octanone? I know it is a ketone and has some polarity due to this, but the carbon chain so long, I wonder if london dispersion forces are stronger?

Definition Definition Organic compounds that have a carbonyl group, C = O, as their functional group. The carbonyl group in ketones is placed somewhere in the middle of the molecular structure, which means, the C=O is attached to two alkyl groups or benzene rings. Just like all other homologous series, the naming of ketones is done using a common suffix “-one”. The general molecular formula is C n H 2n O. Functional group of a ketone

Expert Solution

Step 1

The force between the molecules due to which they are bonded or closer to each other are know as intermolecular force(IMF).

The IMF are of the following types ;

Dipole-diple interaction
London dispersion force
Dipole-induced dimple interaction
Hydrogen bonding.

Strength of these forces are in the order of

4 > 1 > 3 >2
