Answer:
B. Lower than 100 °C because hydrogen sulfide has dipole-dipole interactions instead of hydrogen bonding.
Explanation:
Intermolecular bonds exists between seperate molecules or units. Their relative strength determines many physical properties of substances like state of matter, solubility of water, boiling point, volatility, viscosity etc. Examples are Van der waals forces, hydrogen bonds and crystal lattice forces.
In hydrogen sulfide, the intermolecular bond is a dipole-dipole attraction which is a type of van der waals attraction. It occurs as an attraction between polar molecules. These molecules line such that the positive pole of one molecule attracts the negative pole of another.
In water, the intermolecular bond is hydrogen bonds in which an electrostatic attraction exists between the hydrogen atom of one molecule and the electronegative atom of a neighbouring molecule.
Based on their relative strength:
Van der Waals forces < Hydrogen bonding forces < crystal lattice
This makes water boil at a higher temperature than hydrogen sulfide.
Models are used to study atoms because we can't exactly study an atom with the naked eye, Using an enlarged model of an atom easier to study because we can pin point the different characteristics of the atom.
Solutes are when a substance is dissolved into another substance, so if it's dissolved, it is combined completely, and you can't see it anymore :)
At high altitudes, air pressure is lower. That means that the boiling point of water is lower as well (lower air pressure means that water molecules need less energy to turn into gas), and because the water is boiling at a lower temperature it takes longer for it to cook the pasta.
hope this helps!
