Answer:- 
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 .
A hydrate is a substance where in it contains water and other constituent elements. To know whether if that compound was a hydrate,you should record its mass, then put it in a test tube and heat it with a Bunsen burner. If the compound is a hydrate, the water in the compound will discharge in the form of water vapor. At the next 5-10 minutes, remove it in the test tube and weigh it up again. If the mass is now fewer, that means that there was water existing that has now evaporated, and the compound was a hydrate.
The answer is E - have both hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups.
The number of neon moles that occupy a volume of 14.3 l at STP is calculated as follows
At STP 1 mole = 22.4 liters
what about 14.3 liters
by cross multiplication
= (1 mole x 14.3 l)/22.4 l =0.638 moles of neon
Solids are usually more dense than liquids and gases.
