Choose the substance with the highest viscosity. (CH3CH2)2CO C2H4Cl2 HOCH2CH2CH2CH2OH CCl4 C6H14
What steps do I take to determine what intermolecular forces each of these has?
Viscosity is the measure resistance in flow of substance. The intermolecular forces plays important role in it. Next the density.
1 , 4-butanediol got two OH groups.
Which can form H-bonding very efficiently. Rest of the molecule only have dipole – dipole and van der waals attraction but in addition to these two intermolecular forces 1,4-butanediol got H-bonding which holds molecule very strongly than other so it has got very high viscosity.
Lets show its bonding.
