When you draw the molecular structure, the structure is in fact symmetrical. When the structure is symmetrical it is non-polar therefore the forces are said to be 'london forces'/ dispersion forces.

What is C2H6 the most important intermolecular force?

The most important intermolecular force in C2H6, ethane, is London dispersion forces. These are temporary dipoles created by the shifting of electron clouds, which allow for weak attractions between molecules.


What type of intermolecular bonding is there in C2H6?

In C2H6 (ethane), the predominant intermolecular bonding is van der Waals forces, specifically London dispersion forces. These forces result from temporary fluctuations in electron distribution within molecules.


Which characteristic of the compound C5H12 causes it to have a higher normal boiling point than C2H6?

Predominantly its higher molecular mass. The higher mass of a molecule of C5H12 requires more energy to cause it to move fast enough to escape its intermolecular bonding than does the lower mass C2H6 molecule. The intermolecular bonding itself may be stronger in the higher molecular mass molecule, but this is relatively minor compared with the difference in molecular mass.


Which is expected to have the largest dispersion forces CO2 C8H18 N2 C2H6?

C8H18 (octane) is expected to have the largest dispersion forces among these molecules due to its larger number of electrons and greater molecular weight, leading to stronger London dispersion forces.


What compound tends to have low melting and boiling points?

Ionic compounds tend to have high melting and boiling points due to the strong electrostatic forces between ions. In contrast, molecular compounds composed of nonmetals tend to have lower melting and boiling points due to weaker intermolecular forces such as van der Waals forces.


What is the covalent name of C2H6?

The covalent name of C2H6 is ethane.


How many atoms are C2H6?

1molecule of C2H6 contains 2 carbon atoms


Which of the following is an organic molecule a kbr b h2so4 c mgf d c2h6?

'c' C2H6 ( Ethane) The others are INORGANIC Molecules. Remember , organic chemicstry deals with the chemistry or CARBON compounds. If no carbon is present then it is INORGANIC.


What quantity of reactants remains after ignition of a mixture that contains 2 moles of C2H6 mixed with 1.6 moles of O2?

Balanced equation first. 2C2H6 + 7O2 -> 4CO2 +6H2O I suspect C2H6 of limiting the reaction. 2 moles C2H6 (1.6 moles O2/2 moles C2H6) = 1.6 moles O2 left over and all of the C2H6 is consumed.


What is the balanced equation for C2 H2 plus H2 equals C2 H6?

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction C2H2 + H2 → C2H6 is: C2H2 + 2H2 → C2H6


What is the foemula for ethane?

C2h6


What is the Greek prefix to represent C2H6?

The Greek prefix for C2H6 is "eth-," derived from the Greek word for two (eth).
