Electronegativity is the property of the element to attract electrons to its nucleus. The trend of electronegativity in the periodic table is decreasing from right to left and decreasing from top to bottom. hence from the given elements, the element with the highest electronegativity should be A.beryllium
Answer : The normal boiling point of ethanol will be, 
or 
Explanation :
The Clausius- Clapeyron equation is :
where,
= vapor pressure of ethanol at 
= 98.5 mmHg
= vapor pressure of ethanol at normal boiling point = 1 atm = 760 mmHg
= temperature of ethanol = 
= normal boiling point of ethanol = ?
= heat of vaporization = 39.3 kJ/mole = 39300 J/mole
R = universal constant = 8.314 J/K.mole
Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:
Hence, the normal boiling point of ethanol will be, or
Explanation:
Inspite of having similar intermolecular forces, CS2 has a higher boiling point than CO2, since it has a greater molar mass. The potential energy of molecules reduces until a certain level as they get closer to each other. Although the polarity of both CO2 and CS2 are cancelled because of their linear structure.
Alkanes are hydrocarbons that only contain single bonds in them. A carbon can bond with up to 4 atoms, even with another carbon atom. So, in a C-C bond, 3 more H atoms can bond to each of the C atom. Generally, the chemical formula for alkanes is CₓH₂ₓ₊₂. So for butane, there are 4 C atoms. The corresponding H atoms are 2(4) + 2 = 10. That's why it's chemical formula is C₄H₁₀.
