The rapid motion and collisions of molecules with the walls of the container causes pressure.
Answer:
Polybutene exists in two isomeric forms depending on where the carbon double bond is positioned in the monomer molecule. If it is between the first and second carbon atoms in a linear molecule, then the chemically accurate name of the resulting polymer is polybutene-1.
Answer:
The ability of the molecule to pack more tightly increases the melting point.
Explanation:
In hydrocarbons of same molecular formula, melting point is determined by:
- weak intermolecular forces
- Molecular symmetry
Higher the intermolecular forces and molecular symmetry, higher will be the melting point.
Intermolecular forces in hydrocarbons decreases with branching. Moreover, branching interfere the tight packing of the molecule in the crystal. Therefore, branched hydrocarbons tend to have lower melting point.
However, in highly branched hydrocarbons molecular symmetry increases which results in tight packing of the molecule in the crystal.
So, highly tight packed molecules tend to have high melting point.
As (CH3)2CHC(CH3)3 is highly branched and has high molecular symmetry, therefore, its melting point is highest among given.
So, among the given, option c is correct.
At a constant temperature and pressure, liquids retain their volume
