Answer:

The compound is a saturated fatty acid.

Explanation:

Fatty acids are <u>carboxylic acids with a long chain</u>, which can be 3-carbon long-chain atoms or above. According to the saturation of its bonds, they can be saturated (all single bonds) or unsaturated (mono or polyunsaturated, depending on the number of double bonds present in the molecule).

In this case, since it is a saturated fatty acid and it has 26 carbons, it is called cerotic acid, or hexacosanoic acid.

Which of the following molecules experience dipole-dipole forces as its strongest IMF? A) H2 B) SO2 C) NH3 D) CF4 E) BCl3
Xelga [282]

Answer: NH_3

Explanation:

a) H_2: This  is a non polar covalent compound which are held by weak vanderwaal forces of attraction.

b) SO_2: This  is a covalent compound which is polar due to the presence of lone pair of electrons and are held by dipole-dipole forces of attraction.

c) NH_3: These are joined by a special type of dipole dipole attraction called as hydrogen bond. It forms between electronegative nitrogen atom and hydrogen atom and is the strongest interaction.

d) CF_4: This  is a covalent compound and is non polar which are held by weak vanderwaal forces of attraction.

e)  BCl_3: This  is a covalent compound and is non polar which are held by weak vander waal forces of attraction.
