Identify the strongest attractive forces between the particles of each of the following A.CH3OH B.CO C.CF4 D.CH3-CH3
2 answers:
Answer: A) hydrogen bonding, B) dipole-dipole forces, C) London dispersion forces and D) London dispersion forces.
Explanation: Methanol is a polar covalent molecule means it has dipole-dipole forces of attraction. Since, hydrogen is bonded to more electron negative oxygen atom, this molecule has hydrogen bonding. So, strongest attractive forces for this molecule are hydrogen bonding.
CO is a polar covalent molecule and so it has dipole-dipole forces of attraction.
has four polar covalent bonds but the over all molecule is nonpolar as the dipole moment of one C-F bond is canceled by its opposite C-F bond as the molecule is tetrahedral. Being nonpolar, the molecule has london dispersion forces only.
Ethane is also a nonpolar molecule and so it has london dispersion forces.

Answer:
The charge carried by each ion (oxidation state of each atom)
Explanation:
If we have an ionic compound and we want to write its formula, we must first know the magnitude of charge on each ion (shown as oxidation state of the atoms involved) because the magnitude of charge on each ion is eventually crisscrossed and gives the subscript (number of atoms) for each atom in the formula.
For instance, let us write the formula of calcium bromide. Ca has a charge of +2 while Br has a charge of -1. If we exchange the charges and ignore the signs such that the crisscrossed charges form subscripts we can now write; .
