Answer:

ortho-hydroxy acetophenone form intramolecular hydrogen bonding. On the other hand, para-hydroxy acetophenone forms intermolecular hydrogen bonding.

Explanation:

Hydrogen bonding:-

  • Hydrogen bonding is a special type of the dipole-dipole interaction and it occurs between hydrogen atom that is bonded to highly electronegative atom which is either fluorine, oxygen or nitrogen atom.
  • Partially positive end of the hydrogen atom is attracted to partially negative end of these atoms which is present in another molecule. It is strong force of attraction between the molecules.

The bonding can be intramolecular and intermolecular. ortho-hydroxy acetophenone can form intramolecular hydrogen bonding which means that hydrogen bonding exist within the same molecule. On the other hand, para-hydroxy acetophenone forms intermolecular hydrogen bonding in which the bonding is in between the different molecules.<u> Hence, more amount of energy is required to melt these molecules in case of para-hydroxy acetophenone. </u>

Base your answer on the information below. The hydrocarbon 2-methylpropane reacts with iodine as represented by the balanced equ
Kryger [21]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The boiling point of a substance is affected by the nature of bonding in the molecule as well as the nature of intermolecular forces between molecules of the substance.

2-methylpropane has only pure covalent and nonpolar C-C and C-H bonds. As a result of this, the molecule is nonpolar and the only intermolecular forces present are weak dispersion forces. Therefore, 2-methylpropane has a very low boiling point.

As for 2-iodo-2-methylpropane, there is a polar C-I bond. This now implies that the intermolecular forces present are both dispersion forces and dipole interaction. As a result of the presence of stronger dipole interaction between 2-iodo-2-methylpropane molecules, the compound has a higher boiling point than  2-methylpropane.
