Chapter 3, Problem 3G.5E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Order of viscosity from lower to higher value of molecules below has to be determined.

  ${\text{C}}_{\text{6}}{\text{H}}_{\text{5}}{\text{SH, C}}_{\text{6}}{\text{H}}_{\text{5}}{\text{OH, C}}_{\text{6}}{\text{H}}_{\text{6}}$

Concept Introduction:

Dipole-dipole interactions come into play when partial charges of different dipoles interact with each other. Higher the polarity between molecules more will be dipole-dipole interactions between them and vice-versa. Viscosity is characteristic property of liquid particles that allows resistance to their flow. In other words, it represents opposition to flow of liquids.
