Question

uestions Isobutanol (2-methylpropan-1-ol), I-butanol (2-methylpropan-2-ol), and butan-1-ol are isomers with the same molar mass. (12 points each) Which of the alcohols studied has the strongest intermolecular forces of attraction? The a. weakest intermolecular forces? b. What were the t values for the compounds? c. Ex forces. d. How does 2-butanol compare to these alcohols? plain the difference in At values of these substances based on their intermolecular e. Select one of the alcohols and draw 3 Lewis diagrams of it. Show using dotted lines ALL the intermolecular forces present. Label the forces and use an arrow to point to the intermolecular forces.

Explanation / Answer

Butan-1-ol has a linear structure. The linear molecules are able to come closer thus creating stronger bonds and have strongest intermolecular forces of attraction. t butanol has the weakest.

The strong intermolecular forces lead to higher boiling points and thus the Delta T values differ in each case.
