Do isomers have the same physical properties? Provide evidence.

Not necessarily.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Isomers might differ in polarities. They will end up with different physical properties such as melting points.

Example:

  • 1,2-dichlorobenzene  has a melting point of around -18 ~ -17 degrees celsius. (SynQuest)
  • 1,4-dichlorobenzene (with two chlorine opposite to each other on a benzene ring) has a melting point of 52 ~ 54 degrees celsius. (SynQuest)

Both 1,4- and 1,2-dichlorobenzene contains two chlorine atoms connected to a benzene ring. The two molecules are structural isomers.

The two chlorine atoms are adjacent to each other in the 1,2 isomer. The molecule is asymmetric and polar.

The two chlorine align with an axis of symmetry in the 1,4 isomer. The molecule is symmetric. The dipoles would cancel out to produce a nonpolar molecule.

Dipole-dipole interactions are typically stronger than <em>induced</em> dipole<em> </em>in isomers. As a result, the 1,2 isomer has a higher melting point.

Are hybrids made by natural selection or artificial selection?
Tanya [424]

Answer:

natural selection

Explanation:

hybrid incompatibility does not evolve because of direct natural selection for hybrid incompatibility, but is instead a by-product of other evolutionary divergence between the species

How many carbon atoms are in the following molecule of isobutane? (ch3)3ch
wariber [46]
The subscript 3 outside of the parentheses means to multiply everything in the parentheses by 3, so it becomes a matter of addition:
3*(CH3) * (1 carbon atom)/(CH3) = 3 carbon atoms in (CH3)3
CH has one carbon atom and one hydrogen atom, so:
1 carbon atom in CH
Add both of them together, and you get 4 carbon atoms in isobutane

How many significant digits are 6.3590x10 7 mm
Svet_ta [14]
If you go by the decimal there should be 5 significant digits because 0 is a trailing zero and matters since it comes after a decimal. however if you do 

6.3590 x 10 ^7 = 63590000 then you would only have 4 significant digits because there is no longer a decimal to make the zero after the 9, significant. 

Hope this helps!
