1.
Ethane (CH3CH3) and Fluoromethane (CH3F) have the same number of electrons and are essentially the same size. However, ethane has a boiling point of 184.5C and fluoromethane has a boiling point of 194.7C. Which answer best explains this 10 degree difference in boiling point in terms of the van der Waals forces present.
A) It has nothing to do with van der Waals
B) Both molecules have both dispersion and orientation forces present, but fluoromethane is a slightly larger molecule
C) Both molecules have dispersion forces, but fluoromethane also has orientation forces present
D) Both molecules are non-polar, but fluoromethane is a slightly larger molecule
