This document contains a worksheet asking a student to:
1) Draw diagrams of methanol, dimethyl ether, and ethane molecules showing intermolecular interactions and identify the type of interactions.
2) Identify the intermolecular forces present in the liquid forms of each substance.
3) Predict the relative boiling points of methanol, dimethyl ether, and ethane based on their different intermolecular forces and the energy required to overcome these forces.

Florida International University Name:____________________________ Panther ID:_________________________ b. What type of interaction did you show in your picture? Identify the important features of the interaction and how they were depicted in your picture. Revise your picture if necessary.
I showed a Dipole-Dipole interaction showing that the interaction is strong since the arrow is increasing. Oxygen yields more energy which is why it is above the C.
c. What intermolecular forces are present in liquid CH3OH?
Hydrogen bonding Dipole dipole

b. What type of interaction did you show in your picture? Identify the important features of the interaction and how they were depicted in your picture. Revise your picture if necessary.
Dipole dipole bonding because it shows how the strongest interaction is as it increases from the arrow above.
c. What intermolecular forces are present in liquid CH3OCH3?
Hydrogen bonding Dipole Dipole Bonding

4. What would you predict would be the relative boiling points of methanol (CH3OH), dimethyl ether (CH3OCH3) and ethane (CH3CH3)? Explain your answer, being sure to use the ideas of forces and energy.
Methanol has the highest boiling point because it has all 3 types of molecular forces, the attractive forces is the strongest, causing a higher boiling point since it requires more energy. Next would be dimethyl since it has 2 intermolecular forces and then ethane.
