Y melts at 800˚C

This is evidence that ...

a)

X has stronger intermolecular forces than Y

b)

Y has stronger intermolecular forces than X

c)

X and Y both melt so their intermolecular forces are the same.

d)

X and Y don't have intermolecular forces because they melted.

d)

three layers: red, orange, and yellow

17.

Wax is a nonpolar solid.

Hexane is a nonpolar liquid.

Will wax dissolve in hexane?

a)

YES because they are both nonpolar

b)

YES because their names both contain an "x"

c)

NO because at least one substance has to be polar to dissolve.
