AP Chemistry
3.1 Intermolecular and Interparticle Forces
A student compares the normal boiling points of two structural isomers with the molecular formula \(\text{C}_2\text{H}_6\text{O}\): ethanol (\(\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{OH}\), boiling point \(78^\circ\text{C}\)) and dimethyl ether (\(\text{CH}_3\text{OCH}_3\), boiling point \(-24^\circ\text{C}\)). Which of the following best identifies the isomer with the stronger intermolecular forces and provides the correct justification?
