What are the strongest intermolecular forces in CH4, NH3 and H2O? From this deduce which has the highest boiling point, giving reasoning.

The cental atom in each of these molecules is C, N and O respectivly, of these both N and O are members of the family of three atoms that can form hydrogen bond (also incluidng F), when directly bonded to hy...

Increaseing the pressure of a system will have what effect on the equilibrium of this reversable reaction 3H2 + N2 <---> 2NH3

Increaseing the pressure will cause the equilibrium to move to the right of the reaction, producing more products than reactants. This is because there is fewer gasseous moles on the right (2 moles) than the...

Draw an Alkane with the molecular formula C4H8 as well as a possible functional group isomer and state a chemical test you can use to differentiate between the two.

Many organic molecules follow specific formulas to help identify them. For Alkanes this is: C n H 2n+2 (n being the total number of carbon atoms). However, this is not the case with the given molecular formu...

Explain why alkenes can have stereoisomers

Alkenes have stereoisomers because no free rotation possible around the C=C double bond, as to do so would break the pi-bond between the two atoms. which requires energy to break.
