So for this question, we're trying to explain the difference in boiling point between two compounds based on their intermolecular forces.
00:09
So for the first one, we have hydrochloric acid and hydrochloric acid.
00:15
And so why does the hydrophoric acid have a higher boiling point? so remember that the stronger the intermolecular forces, the higher the boiling point.
00:30
If we look at the hydrogen bond into a fluorine, right? our intermolecular forces here are hydrogen bonding, which is a very strong intermolecular force.
00:42
If we look at the hydrogen bonded to a chlorine, this is not a hydrogen bond, right? because it is not oxygen, fluorine, or nitrogen.
00:52
So it does not have a hydrogen bond, but it is a polar molecule, and so it has dipole, dipole, forces.
01:04
So, because the hydrogen bond is much stronger than the dipole dipole forces, this has a higher boiling point, right? higher into molecular force, higher boiling point.
01:22
Now let's move on to the second question.
01:25
So if we're looking at these two compounds, let's look at their structures.
01:31
So we have carbon in the center, and then we're bonded to one hydrogen and three chlorines.
01:40
So looking at this molecule, it's asymmetrical, and chlorine is more electronegative than carbon...
