Esters

Which is the main chain in an ester

• The longest continuous carbon chain

• The one that bonds to both the -O and the =O

• The one that bonds to only the -O

• The one that bonds to only the =O

• Whichever one I feel like!

What kind of intermolecular forces (IMFs) do esters make?

• Hydrogen bonds and LDFs to anything

• Dipole-dipole forces and LDFs to anything

• Hydrogen bonds to solvents that can make hydrogen bonds (like water), dipole-diple and LDFs to themselves

• LDFs only
