- Cooking oil floats on top of water. From this observation, what conclusions can you draw regarding the polarity or hydrogen-bonding ability of molecules found in cooking oil?arrow_forwardWhat are intermolecular forces? How do they differ from intramolecular forces? What are dipole-dipole forces? How do typical dipole-dipole forces differ from hydrogen bonding interactions? In what ways are they similar? What are London dispersion forces? How do typical London dispersion forces differ from dipole-dipole forces? In what ways are they similar? Describe the relationship between molecular size and strength of London dispersion forces. Place the major types of intermolecular forces in order of increasing strength. Is there some overlap? That is, can the strongest London dispersion forces be greater than some dipole-dipole forces? Give an example of such an instance.arrow_forwardClassify each of the following statements as true or false. a Intermolecular attractions are stronger in liquids than in gases. b Substances with weak intermolecular attractions generally have low vapor pressures. c Liquids with high molar heats of vaporization usually are more viscous than liquids with low molar heats of vaporization. d A substance with a relatively high surface tension usually has a very low boiling point. e All other things being equal, hydrogen bonds are weaker than induced dipole or dipole forces. f Induced dipole forces become very strong between large molecules. g Other things being equal, nonpolar molecules have stronger intermolecular attractions than polar molecules. h The essential feature of a dynamic equilibrium is that the rates of opposing changes are equal. i Equilibrium vapor pressure depends on the concentration of a vapor above its own liquid. j The heat of vaporization is equal to the heat of fusion, but with opposite sign. k The boiling point of a liquid is a fixed property of the liquid. l If you break shatter an amorphous solid, it will break in straight lines, but if you break a crystalline solid, it will break in curved lines. m Ionic crystals are seldom soluble in water. n Molecular crystals are nearly always soluble in water. o The numerical value of heat of vaporization is always larger than the numerical value of heat of condensation. p The units of heat of fusion are kJ/gC. q The temperature of water drops while it is freezing. r Specific heat is conerned with a change in temperature.arrow_forward
- Intermolecular Forces The following picture represents atoms of hypothetical, nonmetallic, monatomic elements A, B, and C in a container at a temperature of 4 K (the piston maintains the pressure at 1 atm). None of these elements reacts with the others. a What is the state (solid, liquid, or gas) of each of the elements represented in the container? b Rank the elements in the container from greatest to least, in terms of intermolecular interactions. Explain your answer. c What type(s) of intermolecular attractions are present in each of these elements? d Explain which element has the greatest atomic mass. e One of the elements in the container has a normal boiling point of 2 K. Which element would that be (A, B, or C)? How do you know? f One of the elements has a melting point of 50 K. Which element would that be (A, B, or C)? Why? g The remaining element (the one you have yet to choose) has a normal boiling point of 25 K. Identify the element. Could this element have a freezing point of 7 K? Explain. h If you started heating the sample to 20 K, explain what you would observe with regard to the container and its contents during the heating. i Describe the container and its contents at 20 K. Describe (include a drawing) how the container and its contents look at 20 K. j Now you increase the temperature of the container to 30 K. Describe (include a drawing) how the container and its contents look at 30 K. Be sure to note any changes in going from 20 K to 30 K. k Finally, you heat the container to 60 K. Describe (include a drawing) how the container and its contents look at this temperature. Be sure to note any changes in going from 30K to 60karrow_forwardExplain why evaporation leads to cooling of the liquid.arrow_forwardIdentify the intermolecular forces present in the following solids: (a) CH3CH2OH (b) CH3CH2CH3 (c) CH3CH2Clarrow_forward
- What term is used to describe a substance that readily evaporates at room temperature because of a high vapor pressure?arrow_forwardA common prank on college campuses is to switch the salt and sugar on dining hall tables. which is usually easy because the substances look so much alike. Yet, despite the similarity in their appearance, these two substances differ greatly in their properties because one is a molecular solid and the other is an ionic solid. How do the properties differ and why?arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about intermolecular forces is( are) true? a. London dispersion forces are the only type of intermolecular force that nonpolar molecules exhibit. b. Molecules that have only London dispersion forces will always be gases at room temperature (25C). c. The hydrogen-bonding forces in NH3 are stronger than those in H2O. d. The molecules in SO2(g) exhibit dipole-dipole intermolecular interactions. e. CH3CH2CH3 has stronger London dispersion forces than does CH4.arrow_forward
