While ethanol being an alcohol does have a direct O−H connection. Hence, ethanol has intermolecular hydrogen bonds. Therefore, more stroger physical bonds have to be destroyed in ethanol, than in acetone. Hence, acetone evaporates faster than ethanol inspite of having higher surface tension.

<h3>What is Vapor pressure ?</h3>

The pressure that a vapour exerts on the condensed phases (solid or liquid) in a closed system when they are in thermodynamic equilibrium with one another is known as vapour pressure (or equilibrium vapour pressure).

  • It is significant to remember that when a liquid boils, the pressure of its vapour equals the atmospheric pressure. For instance, the vapour pressure of water when it boils at sea level is 1 atmosphere because the surrounding pressure is also 1 atmosphere.

Answer:

Molecules are made of two or more atoms

Molecules are made of atoms of the same element or different elements.

Molecules range in size.

Explanation:

A molecule is formed whenever two or more atoms combine. Hence we can define a molecule as a combination of two or more elements that are combined chemically and can not be separated by any physical means.

Molecules may be composed of the same atoms as in O2, F2 etc or different atoms as in CO2, H2O, etc.

The sizes of molecules differ. Some molecules are quite small in size while others are quite large in size.
