The dipole moment of a molecule depends upon dipole-dipole interactions. Since cis-isomer has higher dipole moment, therefore it has higher boiling point.
(i) Ethanol undergoes intermolecular hydrogen bonding due to the presence of a hydrogen attached to oxygen atom. As a result, ethanol exist as associated molecules and hence it has higher...
( a) In the molecules HCl, HBr and HI, dipole-dipole interaction and London forces are present.
(b) The dipole moment of HCl > HBr > HI but boiling point of HCl...
n-butanol and 2-methyl propan-2-ol.Butanol has the higher boiling point as the branching increases the surface area of the molecule decreases so the boiling point decreases.
Pentane having a continuous chain of five carbon atoms has the highest boiling point (309.1K) whereas 2,2 – dimethylpropane boils at 282.5K. With an increase in a number of branched...
