Chapter 4, Problem 4.76E

The covalent compounds ethyl alcohol and dimethyl ether both have the formula C 2 H 6 O . However, the alcohol melts at 117.3 ° C and boils at 78.5 ° C , whereas the ether melts at 138.5 ° C and boils at 23.7 ° C . How could differences in forces between molecules be used to explain these observations?

The lattice constant of diamond is 0.3567 nm. What is the angle between two bonds of a carbon atom in the diamond crystal?
Shown below are interactions that occur between ions and polar compounds (cyclopentyl alcohol, dimethyl ether, dimethyl sulfide, and water). Examine the types of intermolecular forces in which each of the following molecules participate, then rank the following interactions between molecules and ions from the weakest to the strongest based on those intermolecular forces and trends in electronegativity.
Choose the compound that has the lowest surface tension.
