Question

Explain why, at room temperature, CO2 is a gas and CS2 is a liquid. You may use diagrams as part of your explanation.

Answer 1

Explanation:

A. Hydrogen bonding is present in CS2 but not in CO2.

B. CS2 has greater dipole moment than CO2 and thus the dipole-dipole forces in CS2 are stronger.

C. CS2 partly dissociates to form ions and CO2 does not. Therefore, ion-dipole interactions are present in CS2 but not in CO2.

D. The dispersion forces are greater in CS2 than in CO2.
