2. In each of the following pairs of substances, predict which one would have the higher boiling
point (if done on this sheet, circle the correct answer): a) He or Ar c) GeH4 or SiH4 e) hexane or
heptane b) Ar or N20 d) HF or HCI f) F2 or I2
Solution
a) He or Ar: He and Ar are both noble gases and the only kind of intermolecularforces that exist
in them are the london dispersion forces.The size of the atom increases as you go down the
periodic table, and so will be the number of electrons. As number of electrons increase, the
polarizability also increases, resulting in greater London Dispersion forces. So Ar which is down
in the group has more london dispersion forces as compared to He and hence will have ahigher
boiling. Ar has a higher boiling point.
b) NO 2 or Ar: Ar, is a noble gases and the only kind of intermolecularforces that exist in Ar are
the london dispersion forces. NO 2 on the other hand has a strong dipole which leads to dipole-
dipole interactions along with london dispersion forces. These extra intra-molecuar forces bind
NO 2 molecules together, making it difficult to break these bonds, there by leading to a higer
boiling point, So NO 2 has higher boiling point.
c) GeH 4 orSiH 4: Ge is below Si in the group which means that GeH 4 has more electrons than
SiH 4. Therefore GeH 4 has more London dispersion forces and hence needs more energy to break
these forces; leading to higher boiling point. GeH 4 has higher boiling point.
d) HF or HCl: HF and HCl are both acids of anions from group VII (halides). However Floride is
more electroegative comapred to Chloride. Being more electronegative the floirde is very
strongly attracted to hydrogen than chloride would do. So it is more diffult to break an HF bond
compared to HCl and hence HF has a higher boiling point.
