Answer 11

Are molecules that have the same molecular formula but differ in the spatial arrangement of their atoms

Question 12

What is the order of strength from weakest to strongest for intermolecular forces?

Answer 12

Dispersion < Dipole-Dipole < Hydrogen bonds

Question 13

What is the factors of a molecule that effect its boiling point?

Answer 13

• length of carbon-carbon chain (particularly in non-polar molecules)
• the strength of the intermolecular forces present
• Branching as kinks results in no packaging compared to linear chains
