does anyone no this Because water molecules are polar and carbon dioxide molecules are nonpolar, A. water has a lower boiling point than carbon dioxide does. B. attractions between water molecules are weaker than attractions between carbon dioxide molecules. C. carbon dioxide cannot exist as a solid. D. water has a higher boiling point than carbon dioxide does
D
@timo86m OpenStudy is not an answer machine, but a help machine. Offer up a little explanation to justify your answer please.
the hint is in the answer
@jayden12 As discussed in your earlier question regarding the higher than expected boiling point of water, we determined that the polar attraction between water molecules caused the higher boiling point. If polarity of a bond is the basis alone of boiling point, and we know that polarity causes boiling point to be higher, what can conclude about the relative boiling points of a polar and nonpolar molecule?
