Question

arrange the following from highest to lowest boiling point, using the concept of intermolecular forces to prove your answer. cs2, ch3cl, ch2oh, h2s, ccl4

Answer 1

are you acquainted with the different types of intermolecular forces?

Answer 2

no i am not i need help with that

Answer 3

first you classify the compound as: non-polar, polar, or ionic

then determine the forces. The most important (in terms of strength) are:
If non-polar: london dispersion forces
if polar: dipole-dipole (hydrogen bonds are a special kind)
if ionic: ionic

Strongest ionic > dipole-dipole > LDF

there are subdivisions like induced-dipole dipole, ion-dipole, etc. but i mentioned the main ones.

Answer 4

ok can you explain to me how you know which is polar or ionic??

Answer 5

pleaseee

Answer 6

polar covalent compounds do not include metals
ionic compounds involve a metal and a non-metal

Answer 7

i can tell you that none of the compounds in the question is ionic

Answer 8

okay so can you help me identify cs2, ch3cl, ch2oh, h2s, & ccl4

Answer 9

you should try it yourself first
