Chapter 10, Problem 10.35QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: An explanation corresponding to the fact that the boiling point of ${\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{Cl}}_{\text{2}}$ is much higher than that of ${\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{CF}}_{\text{2}}$ is to be stated.

Concept introduction: The weakest intermolecular force of attraction between a pair of equal and oppositely charged pole is known as the London or dispersion force. It is also known as induced dipole-induced dipole forces of attraction. Boiling point increases on increasing the size of molecule.

To determine: An explanation corresponding to the fact that the boiling point of ${\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{Cl}}_{\text{2}}$ is much higher than that of ${\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{CF}}_{\text{2}}$.
