Why does NH3 have a higher boiling point than Cl₂? Explain in terms of intermolecular forces. Select the single best answer. O Because NH3 is soluble in water, and Cl₂ is not. Because NH3 is an ionic compound, and the ion-ion attractions are much stronger than the dispersion forces between Cl₂ molecules. Because NH3 is a liquid, and Cl₂ is a gas. Because NH3 can form hydrogen bonds, and Cl₂ cannnot.
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.
