in order of decreasing intermolecular forces.

Respuesta :

Answer:

in order of decreasing intermolecular forces.

CH3COOH      acetic acid

CH3COCH3     acetone or IUPAC propanone

, CH3CH(CH3)CH3 isobutane or IUPAC 2 methyl propane

Explanation:

Based on their composition and structure, list

CH3COCH3

this ketone has the middle intermolecular forces

, CH3CH(CH3)CH3  

this hydrocarbon has the lowest intermolecular forces

, and  CH3COOH

this carboxylic acid has the greatest intermolecular forces

in order of decreasing intermolecular forces.

CH3COOH      acetic acid
