Answer:
Dichloromethane
Explanation:
As we know the atomic number given belongs to following elements, i.e.
Atomic # Element M.Mass
1 Hydrogen 1 g.mol⁻¹
6 Carbon 12 g.mol⁻¹
17 Chlorine 35.5 g.mol⁻¹
Also the molecular formula of Dichloromethane is,
= CH₂Cl₂
Putting molar masses of each element,
= (12)₁ + (1)₂ + (35.5)₂
= 12 + 2 + 71
= 85 g.mol⁺¹
Result:
Hence the only possible structure containing 5 atoms is Dichloromethane.
Answer:
Ethane would have a higher boiling point.
Explanation:
In this case, for the lewis structures, we have to keep in mind that all atoms must have <u>8 electrons</u> (except hydrogen). Additionally, each carbon would have <u>4 valence electrons</u>, with this in mind, for methane we have to put the hydrogens around the carbon, and with this structure, we will have 8 electrons for the carbon. In ethane, we will have a bond between the carbons, therefore we have to put three hydrogens around each carbon to obtain 8 electrons for each carbon.
Now, the main difference between methane and ethane is an <u>additional carbon</u>. In ethane, we have an additional carbon, therefore due to this additional carbon, we will have <u>more area of interaction</u> for ethane. If we have more area of interaction we have to give <u>more energy</u> to the molecule to convert from liquid to gas, so, the ethane will have a higher boiling point.
I hope it helps!
