(a)
Interpretation:
The type of intermolecular force present in methane has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Intermolecular forces: Intermolecular forces are electrostatic in nature and include van der Waals forces and hydrogen bonds. Molecules in liquids are held to other molecules by intermolecular interactions, which are weaker than the intramolecular interactions that hold the atoms together within molecules and polyatomic ions. The three major types of intermolecular interactions are,
- Dipole-dipole interactions
- London dispersion forces
- Hydrogen bonds
(b)
Interpretation:
The type of intermolecular force present in methanol has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(c)
Interpretation:
The type of intermolecular force present in chloroform has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:

Chemistry: Principles and Practice
- The compounds ethanol (C2H5OH) and dimethyl ether (CH3OCH3) have the same molecular formula. Which is expected to have the higher surface tension? Why?arrow_forwardLiquid ethylene glycol, HOCH2CH2OH, is one of the main ingredients in commercial antifreeze. Would you predict its viscosity to be greater or less than that of ethanol, CH3CH2OH?arrow_forwardIn which of the following processes is it necessary to break covalent bonds as opposed to simply overcoming intermolecular forces?
