Order the following in terms of boiling point and explain your reasoning: Ethanol, Ethane, Propane

All three molecules have induced dipole-dipole interactions. Propane has a higher boiling point than ethane as propane has a higher molecular mass. This means there are more electrons present and the indu...

Explain why: a) Fluorine is more electronegative than chlorine b)∆H hydration fluoride is more negative than ∆H hydration chloride

a) The fluorine atom is smaller than the chlorine atom, and there is less shielding from other shells of electrons. Thus the bonding pair of electrons are more attracted to the positive nucleus.

b)...
