Intermolecular Forces Question: Match each of these substances with the property it exhibits.


The Substances:

NH3

CH3CH2CH=CH2

CH3(CH2)5CH3

He


The properties:

largest dispersion forces

largest dipole dipole forces

none of the properties listed

the lowest boiling point

Verified Answer :

The correct matches are as follows:

NH3 = none of the properties listed

CH3 CH2 CH=CH2 = largest dispersion forces

CH3 (CH2)5 CH3 = largest dipole dipole forces

He = the lowest boiling point

Hope this answers the question correctly. Have a nice day.

Answer:

NH3 largest dipole dipole forces

CH3CH2CH=CH2 largest dispersion forces

CH3(CH2)5CH3 none of the properties listed

He the lowest boiling point

Explanation:

Here are a few tips that help you eliminate the wrong answers immediately:

NH3 has the largest dipole forces that are so strong that they have their own special name called hydrogen bonding

CH3(CH2)5CH3 has low dispersion forces because it is a branched, not straight, chain

He is a mono-atomic noble gas which means it relies on the weakest of London dispersion forces leading it to have the lowest boiling point
