Compare the two Lewis structures shown (Structure A and Structure B). Which do you predict to have a higher boiling point and why? Structure A Structure B Same boiling point Because more energy is required to overcome the dipole–dipole interactions compared to LDF. overcoming hydrogen bonding interactions require more energy than overcoming dipole–dipole interactions. They have the same molecular geometries therefore they will have the same types of interactions requiring the same energy.

Chlorine (Cl2) and fluorine (F2) are both gases at room temperature. Which do you predict to be more soluble in water at this temperature and why? Cl2 F2 Because It is smaller and can fit better between water molecules. It can form H-bonding interactions with water. It forms stronger dipole-induced dipole interactions with water.
