Would you expect larger or smaller molecules to be components of a more viscous liquid?

Larger molecules make a liquid more viscous. Larger molecules occupy more space compared to smaller molecules which makes a liquid thicker.


How would you expect the intrinsic volume for a polymer in a particular solvent to vary with temperature?

generally, a polymer gets dissolved in a solvent (which implies lower density and higher volume). the higher the temperature, the quicker the process, so to answer: the intrinsic volume for a polymer in a particular solvent increases with the temperature.

Can solids only wriggle?

Solids in and of themselves do move slightly, but "wriggling" is not really a form of movement one would expect to see at the molecular level.


What is the molecular shape of XeF4?

The molecular shape of XeF4, or xenon tetrafluoride, is square planar. Its molecules are located in a square's corners around an atom in the center in a single place.


Can you bake eyepins?

Are you perhaps making polymer clay jewelry? If so, then yes, you can insert the eyepins into the clay before baking. However, the pins may pull out easily after baking, so expect to apply glue after the clay has cooled.


Why does heptane have a higher boiling point than methanol?

Heptane has 7 carbon atoms. So it has a greater surface area than methanol. Therefor heptane has a higher boiling point.In general, all else being equal the higher the molecular weight, the higher the boiling point. The molecular weight of methanol is 32, the molecular weight of heptane is 100. So, ignoring everything but that, you'd expect heptane to have a higher boiling point than methanol.A better question might be "why is the boiling point of methanol so much higher than that of ethane, which has a similar molecular weight (30)?" The answer to that is hydrogen bonding.


What is molecular solvation?

A molecular solid is a crystalline solid held together by intermolecular forces and composed of discrete molecules held together by van der Waals interactions. This type of solid can be contrasted with metallic solids and covalent solids, which are held together by stronger bonds.As one would expect based on the aforementioned information, molecular solids tend to be melted or sublimated at lower temperatures than other types of solids, because of their weak intermolecular bonding.


Why might plant storage organs (such as fruit or tuber) contain both starch and sugar?

Starch and sugar are essentially the same thing. Starch is a polymer (chain) of single sugar molecules. As the starch is made up or broken down, you would expect to find both in the cells responsible for this action.
