Chapter 11, Problem 100RQ

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason for difference in the boiling point of carbon dioxide $\left({\text{CO}}_2\right)$ and carbon disulphide $\left({\text{CS}}_2\right)$ is to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Various kinds of interactions that bind a molecule are known as intermolecular forces. These can be dispersion, dipole-dipole, ion-dipole and hydrogen bonding.

Boiling point of a substance depends on these intermolecular forces present in a molecule.
