Fluorine is more electronegative than chlorine yet the carbon-fluorine bond in CH3-F is shorter than CH3-Cl. Explain.
Answer: Chlorine is a larger atom than fluorine and uses a 3p rather than 2p orbital. The overlap of a 2sp3 orbital with a 3p orbital is not as good as the overlap of a 2sp3 orbital with a 2p orbital, causing the bond to be longer and weaker.

Assuming roughly equivalent molecular weights, which of the following would have the highest boiling point? A) a tertiary amine B) a quaternary ammonium salt C) an alcohol D) an ether E) an alkyl chloride
Answer: B
65
Explain why the molecule shown below has a lower boiling point than CH3CH2CH2CH3.
Answer: CH3CH2CH2CH3 has greater van der Waals forces because it has a greater contact area than isobutane. Therefore, the boiling point of CH3CH2CH2CH3 is higher.
66
Primary and secondary amines exhibit hydrogen bonding; tertiary amines do not. Explain.
Answer: The nitrogen in a tertiary amine is not attached to a hydrogen. Recall that for a molecule to exhibit hydrogen bonding it must have a hydrogen attached to a highly electronegative atom such as F, N, or O.
67
Explain why trimethylamine, (CH3)3N**:**, has a considerably lower boiling point than propylamine CH3CH2CH2NH2, even though both compounds have the same molecular formula.
Answer: Since hydrogen bonding is possible for propylamine and not for trimethylamine, the boiling point is higher for propylamine.
68
Which of the molecules below has the higher boiling point? Briefly explain your choice. CH3CH2CH2OH or CH3CH2OCH3
Answer: CH3CH2CH2OH has the higher boiling point since it is capable of intermolecular hydrogen bonding.
69
Would you expect sodium chloride (NaCl) to be highly soluble in the organic solvent hexane (CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3)? Briefly explain your answer.
Answer: One would not expect NaCl to be highly soluble in hexane. NaCl is an ionic solid (i.e., a very polar material) while hexane is nonpolar. Nonpolar solvent molecules do not solvate ions well. The attractions of oppositely charged ions to each other are vastly greater than the weak attractions of the ions for the solvent.
70
Which compound is more soluble in water? Briefly explain your choice. CH3OCH3 or CH3CH2OH
Answer: CH3CH2OH is more soluble in water since it can donate a hydrogen bond to water and accept a hydrogen bond from water. CH3OCH3 can only accept a hydrogen bond from water; it has no hydrogen which can hydrogen bond to water.
71
Which compound is more soluble in water? Briefly explain your choice. (CH3)2NH or CH3CH2CH3
Answer: (CH3)2NH is more soluble in water since it can hydrogen bond with water. Alkanes are not capable of hydrogen bonding with water.
72
Which intermolecular force is primarily responsible for the interactions among alkane molecules?
Answer: Van der Waal's or London forces
73
What is polarizability and how is it related to the size of an atom?
Answer: Polarizability indicates the ease with which an electron cloud can be distorted. The larger the atom, the more loosely its nucleus holds the electrons in its outermost shell, and the more they can be distorted.
74

Describe the source of angle strain and torsional strain present in cyclopropane.
