Answer the following questions using your knowledge of Particles, Polarity and IMF (type & relative strengths).
1. Which of the following substances would have the highest boiling point (BP) and why: C1Cl4 or C1O2 ?
2. List the 4 types of particles from the particle with the lowest IMF to the particle with the highest IMF (particles are ionic compound, dipole, metals/metallic bond, non-polar molecule?
3. Between COS (C is central atom) and Ca1Cl2, which one would have the lower boiling point? Why?
4. Explain (via your understanding of IMF) why metallic elements are most often solids at room temperature.
5. An unknown substance is known to have a general chemical formula of CxHy where x and y are simple number. Can this substance dissolve in water? Explain.
