Concept introduction:
Intermolecular forces determine the properties of liquid and solid. The attractive forces that occur in all types of particle-like molecules, ions, and atoms are called intermolecular forces.
Types of intermolecular forces are London dispersion forces, hydrogen bonding, and ion-dipole forces.
The most important properties of liquids are viscosity and surface tension.
The measure that resists liquid flow is called viscosity. Viscosity is the ease by which each molecule of the liquid can move. Viscosity and intermolecular forces are proportional to each other. Low viscosity is due to weak intermolecular force in the molecule. On the other hand, strong intermolecular force in a molecule causes high viscosity.
The measure that resists liquid from spread out and increases the surface area is called surface tension. The difference in intermolecular forces in molecules at the surface of the liquid and in its interior causes surface tension.
(b)
Interpretation:
Whether pentane or neopentane that has higher viscosity should be determined.

- Predict the major products of the following organic reaction: NC Δ ? Some important Notes: • Draw the major product, or products, of the reaction in the drawing area below. • If there aren't any products, because no reaction will take place, check the box below the drawing area instead. • Be sure to draw bonds carefully to show important geometric relationships between substituents. Note: if your answer contains a complicated ring structure, you must use one of the molecular fragment stamps (available in the menu at right) to enter the ring structure. You can add any substituents using the pencil tool in the usual way. Click and drag to start drawing a structure. Х аarrow_forwardPredict the major products of this organic reaction.

- Consider the following reactants: Br Would elimination take place at a significant rate between these reactants? Note for advanced students: by significant, we mean that the rate of elimination would be greater than the rate of competing substitution reactions. yes O no If you said elimination would take place, draw the major products in the upper drawing area. If you said elimination would take place, also draw the complete mechanism for one of the major products in the lower drawing area. If there is more than one major product, you may draw the mechanism that leads to any of them. Major Products:arrow_forwardDraw one product of an elimination reaction between the molecules below.
