Explanation:

Ethanethiol is an organosulphur compound which had an alkyl group(CnH2n+1) and a -thiol group (-SH). A thiol group like an hydroxyl group has its Oxygen replaced with sulphur.

Ethanethiol shows little association of its -SH group with the water molecules by hydrogen bonding; both with water molecules and among themselves. Hence why they are less soluble in water or slightly soluble in water.

Ethanol is an organic compound which the general formula of CnH2n+1OH. Ethanol is soluble in water because of the reaction of the -OH group with the water molecules to form hydrogen bonds.

Note that as the alkyl chain increases, Solubility decreases. This is because the alkyl chain forms the hydrophobic surface of the molecule due to its non-interaction of the water molecules to form hydrogen bond.

List a few of the physical properties of buckyball
stepladder [879]

Buckyball or buckminster fullerene is the third allotrope of carbon. It contains 60 carbons which are arranged in the five and six membered rings. Buckyball is the cluster of carbon atoms which are arranged in spherical shape and it forms a hollow cage.

The physical properties are:

Buckyball is made up of huge number of molecules but giant covalent bond is not exist.

The forces between the individual buckyballs are weak intermolecular forces.

The substances which are made up of buckyballs has low melting point in comparison to other allotropes of carbon as low energy is required to overcome theses intermolecular forces.

The substances which are made up of buckyballs is slippery in nature.

The solutions of buckminster fullerene are deep purple in color and upon evaporation brown residue is obtained.

Buckyball is soft in comparison to graphite and when it is compressed to less than 70 percent of its volume then, it converts into superhard form of diamond.
