Boiling point of a compound is determined by the strength of intermolecular forces of attraction between the molecules present in it. Stronger the intermolecular forces of attraction, higher will be the boiling point.
Ionic compounds show ion-ion interactions which are the strongest among all. Ion-dipole interactions are shown when ionic solutes are dissolved in polar solvents. Hydrogen bonding is also a relatively stronger force that is present between H atom and an electronegative atom like F, O and N(
) . All polar molecules show dipole-dipole interaction (
and 
). Dispersion forces are the weakest intermolecular forces due to momentary dipoles between electron clouds and nucleus.
Among the given compounds, 
has dispersion forces as the major intermolecular forces of attraction. So they they exhibit the weakest IMF, hence have the lowest boiling point.
Answer: The bonds are intermediate between double and single bonds
Explanation:
A closer look at the diagram below shows that the bonds in sulphur IV oxide are intermediate between double and single bonds. Hence they do not have the exact bond angle of single bonds. This is why the bond angle is not exactly 120°. There are two resonance structures in the diagram that clearly show this point.
Answer:
<h3><u>
<em>The board should be placed at about an 80-88 degrees angle. </em></u></h3>
<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
<u><em>This will speed the car up and increase its speed as going down the ramp.</em></u>
The two reasons why the UK government is
encouraging citizens to recycle iron and steel is:
<span><span>
1. </span>The environment. Every machinery and device the industries makes
which includes, infrastructures, mega structures to micro devices. Iron and
steel is used. Reducing the extraction of ore and creating steel saves the
environment, reduces mining.</span>
<span><span>
2. </span>Economic reasons. When the ore mining and steel making is reduced
in activity, the government won’t just be able to save the environment but it
also save funds for other purposes.</span>
