Arrange the molecules in order from strongest intermolecular force to weakest.

Chemistry
1 answer:

3 0

Answer:- C_4H_1_0>C_3H_8>C_2H_6>CH_4

Explanations:- Alkanes are non polar molecules as these only have carbons and hydrogens. Electron negativity difference of C and H is very low and it makes them non polar. These have weaker London dispersion forces.

The forces of attraction becomes stronger in alkanes as the number of carbon increases because the surface area as well as molecular weight of the alkanes increases with an increase in number of carbons.

Butane has four carbons, propane has three carbons, ethane has two and methane has only one carbon, So, the strongest to weakest order of inter molecular forces is butane > propane > ethane > methane .

The compound whose molecules have the highest average kinetic energy is?
KIM [24]

Answer:

C)

Explanation:

The warmer the molecules, the higher the average kinetic energy.

"As stated in the kinetic-molecular theory, the temperature of a substance is related to the average kinetic energy of the particles of that substance. When a substance is heated, some of the absorbed energy is stored within the particles, while some of the energy increases the motion of the particles. This is registered as an increase in the temperature of the substance." -lumen learning
