This question is about molecular structure, bonding, and intermolecular forces.
Draw a diagram to show the strongest type of interaction between two molecules of propan-1-ol (C3H7OH\text{C}_3\text{H}_7\text{OH}C3H7OH) in the liquid phase. Include all lone pairs and partial charges in your diagram.
Methoxyethane (CH3OCH2CH3\text{CH}_3\text{OCH}_2\text{CH}_3CH3OCH2CH3) is an isomer of propan-1-ol. Table 1 shows the boiling points of propan-1-ol and methoxyethane.
Table 1
| Compound | Boiling point / ∘C\text{}^\circ\text{C}∘C |
|---|---|
| propan-1-ol | 97 |
| methoxyethane | 7 |
In terms of the intermolecular forces involved, explain the difference in boiling points.
Draw the shape of the SO2Cl2\text{SO}_2\text{Cl}_2SO2Cl2 molecule and the shape of the XeF4\text{XeF}_4XeF4 molecule. Include any lone pairs of electrons that influence the shapes.
In a SO2Cl2\text{SO}_2\text{Cl}_2SO2Cl2 molecule, each oxygen atom is attached to the sulfur atom by a double bond that uses two electrons from sulfur.
Name each shape.
Suggest a value for the bond angle in XeF4\text{XeF}_4XeF4.
Name of shape of SO2Cl2\text{SO}_2\text{Cl}_2SO2Cl2: ______________
Name of shape of XeF4\text{XeF}_4XeF4: ______________
Bond angle in XeF4\text{XeF}_4XeF4: ______________
