Which of the following substances would have the highest critical temperature? A)CH₃Cl B)C₂H₆ C)F₂ D)H₂ E)CO₂

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The critical temperature is the temperature above which a gas cannot be condensed into a liquid, regardless of the pressure. The higher the intermolecular forces between the atoms or molecules of a substance, the higher its critical temperature. Among the given options, compound A, CH₃Cl, has the most complex molecular structure and therefore the strongest intermolecular forces, leading to the highest critical temperature.
