Chapter 10, Problem 74QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The explanation for the difference in the boiling point for ${\text{N}}_2\text{O}$ and ${\text{O}}_3$ is to be written.

Concept Introduction:

The boiling point depends on the intermolecular forces present in the substance. The more the intermolecular forces present, the higher will be the boiling point of the substance. Nonpolar molecules have only London dispersion force whereas polar molecules either have dipole-dipole force or hydrogen bonding force or both.
