Chapter 13, Problem 50AE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Dispersion forces has to be defined. Also, molecules among ${\text{C}}_{\text{3}}{\text{H}}_{\text{8}}$ and ${\text{C}}_9{\text{H}}_{20}$ that has greater dispersion forces has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Intermolecular forces are those that exist between the molecules that can be force of attraction or repulsion. These forces affect the physical properties of the molecule. Intermolecular forces are of three types that are as follows:

1 Dipole-dipole interactions

2 Hydrogen bond

3 London dispersion forces
