MCAT Question of the Day
    •

    Q:

    		 Given the molecules below, which of the following best explains which molecule has the higher boiling point and why? Note that the negligible difference in molecular weight can be treated as non-influential to the boiling point difference.



    		 

    A

    		 The left molecule because there are no London dispersion forces present

    B

    		 The left molecule because there are stronger dipole-dipole interactions present

    C

    		 The right molecule because of the resonance capabilities of the oxygen atom

    D

    		 The right molecule because there are stronger dipole-dipole interactions present
