Chemistry Boiling Points and Intermolecular Forces

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the relationship between boiling points and intermolecular forces, specifically for compounds such as He, Ne, Cl2, (CH3)2CO, O2, and O3. Key concepts include London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole interactions, polarizability, molar mass, and molecular structure. Participants seek resources to better understand how these factors influence boiling points, indicating a need for clear educational materials on the topic.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of intermolecular forces, including London dispersion forces and dipole-dipole interactions.
  • Knowledge of polarizability and its effect on boiling points.
  • Familiarity with molar mass and its correlation with boiling point trends.
  • Basic concepts of molecular structure and its influence on physical properties.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the impact of London dispersion forces on boiling points in noble gases.
  • Explore dipole-dipole interactions in polar molecules like (CH3)2CO.
  • Study the concept of polarizability and its role in determining boiling points.
  • Investigate the relationship between molecular structure and boiling point trends across different compounds.
USEFUL FOR

Chemistry students, educators, and anyone interested in understanding the principles of boiling points and intermolecular forces in various compounds.

I am given question with a number of compounds such as He, Ne, Cl2, (CH3)2CO, O2, O3

I have to arrange it in increasing/decreasing order of their boiling points.

It is related to intermolecular forces i.e London forces, dipole-dipole interactions and also deals with the concepts of polarizability, molar mass, molecular structure etc.

i wasn't able to develop an understanding of the material based on class notes. So, my question is: Can anyone give me link to a good website or any other online resource that will help me pinpoint in finding the solution to such problems.
