Which intermolecular force is responsible for the difference between the boiling points of ICl (97oC) and Br2 (59oC)?
London (dispersion) forces
Dipole-dipole forces
Van der Waals forces
Hydrogen bonding
All of the above
Which factor has the greatest impact on the strength/degree of intermolecular forces of a molecular species?
Molecular mass
Polarity
Both of them equally affect intermolecular forces
None of them actually influence intermolecular forces
Based on the knowledge that hexane, C6H14 (M = 86 g mol-1) has a boiling point of 68ºC and ethanol, CH3CH2OH (M = 46 g mol-1) has a boiling point of 78ºC.
Which of the following statements are true?
Ethanol's higher BP comes from its stronger intermolecular attraction.
Ethanol has a greater BP due to its higher degree of London dispersion force.
Both hexane and ethanol possess hydrogen bonding
Ethanol has a higher BP due to its hydrogen bonding.
Hydrogen bonding favours ethanol while London forces favour hexane. So ethanol has a higher BP since hydrogen bonding has priority.
