Please Help Me!!!!!!
« on: October 20, 2008, 10:02:57 PM »
I have a test tomorrow and I didn't have enough time to ask my tutor all of the questions for the test. Please tell me how to answer some or all of these question.

1) What forces will be overcome to melt 5 grams of solid C2H6? Explain?

2) A stream of methanol (CH2O) flows past a positively charged object.
a) Will the stream attract to the object or will it flow past the object without visible effect?
b) Explain your response in a) (Hint - include molecular structure to support explanation)

PLEASE explain and answer some or all of these questions as soon as possible!!!!!

You should have started studying sooner.  We aren't going to just give you the answers.

1)  What different types of bonding forces do you know about?  What kind of compound is C2H6, is it a covalent compound or ionic compound?
2)  Are there any things in methanol that are electronegative that would be attracted to a positively charged object?
2)  What is the structure of methanol?
