Chapter 12, Problem 109QGW

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The parts are to be answered by considering the given compounds.

Concept Introduction:

The Lewis structure of a molecule is a representation of the molecule in which valance electron of an atom shown around as dots.

The polarity of the molecule depends upon the difference of electronegativity between the atom present in the molecule.

Hydrogen bonding occurs when the molecule has hydrogen atom directly bonded to either oxygen, fluorine or nitrogen atom.

Dipole-dipole forces occur when positive end of a polar molecule attracts the negative end of the other polar molecule.

Dispersion forces are weakest intermolecular forces. The electron of two neighbor atoms occupy the positions that make the atom form temporary dipoles.

The boiling point of the molecule depends upon the intermolecular forces and the molar mass of the compound.
