Consider the molecules HCl, HBr, HF, and HI. Which would you expect to have the highest boiling point and why

Chemistry
1 answer:
FrozenT [24]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

C) HF, because it has the strongest intermolecular force  

Explanation:

The electronegativity difference ΔEN between H and F is so high that HF has especially high dipole-dipole forces, which we call hydrogen bonds. They are the strongest intermolecular forces, and they are responsible for the high boiling point of HF.

A) is wrong. HI has a higher mass and more electrons than HBr.

B) is wrong. There is no hydrogen bonding in HCl.

D) is wrong. There are no ion-dipole forces in HI.

Solids hold their shape and have a fixed volume. The molecules in solids are packed closely together and cannot be moved. Solids also have slow diffusion and low vapor pressure.
2.If an amorphous solid is maintained at a temperature just below its melting point for long periods of time, the component molecules, atoms, or ions can gradually rearrange into a more highly ordered crystalline form
3.A liquid is a nearly incompressible fluid that conforms to the shape of its container but retains a (nearly) constant volume

In a fixed volume, when temperature increases, pressure _______. *
TiliK225 [7]

Answer: For a fixed mass of gas at constant temperature, the volume is inversely proportional to the pressure. That means that, for example, if you double the pressure, you will halve the volume. If you increase the pressure 10 times, the volume will decrease 10 times.
