8
Q
why cant methane be methene?
A
bc it only has one carbon and it has weak intermolecular forces
9
Q
what does dissolved CO2 become?
A
acidic
10
Q
what properties does CO2 have?
A
- east for molecules to overcome
- weak intermolecular forces
11
Q
uses of fossil fuels?
A
- toothpaste
-plastic
-fuels
12
Q
process of making methane?
A
- it doesn’t take much thermal energy to overcome the weak intermolecular forces of methane
- molecules have kinetic energy and move freely
- becomes a gas
13
Q
bigger molecules properties
A
- cant ignite
- viscous (thick)
- high B.P
strong I.M.F
14
Q
smaller molecules properties
A
- can ignite
- Low B.P
- weak I.M.F
- not viscous (thin)
15
Q
what is crude oil?
A
a mixture of different hydrocarbons with different lengths (alkanes)
