Question
Chapter 6, Problem 62E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason behind ethane being gas and ethanol being liquid at room temperature is to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
A molecule can be a gas or a liquid depending upon the intermolecular forces that exist between them. Hydrogen bonding takes place between those molecules which contain an electronegative atom, like N, O, and F, to which a hydrogen atom is attached.
