Choose the substance with the highest viscosity in the liquid phase. A) (CH₃CH₂)₂CO B) C₂H₄Cl₂ C) HOCH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂OH D) CF₄ E) C₆H₁₄

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The substance with the highest viscosity is the one with the most extensive intermolecular forces and the most complex molecular structure. Among the given choices, HOCH2CH2CH2CH2OH has the most complex molecular structure and contains numerous hydrogen bonds between the oxygen and hydrogen atoms. Therefore, it has the highest viscosity in the liquid phase.
