Question

Look up the boiling points of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. Which intermolecular force would you cite to account for the difference? Explain. Drag the words on the left to the appropriate blanks on the right to complete the sentences. Carbon monoxide has a lower boiling point than carbon dioxide. Carbon monoxide is a polar compound indicating dipole-dipole intermolecular forces, and carbon dioxide is a nonpolar molecule indicating London dispersion forces. Typically, dipole-dipole forces are stronger than London dispersion forces; however, that is when the molecules in question have similar molecular mass. The larger molecular mass of carbon dioxide provides greater strength to the London dispersion forces present and therefore a higher boiling point.
