Problem 55
Solid ice is less dense than liquid water. What does this say about how many water molecules there are per unit volume of ice relative to how many water molecules there are per unit volume of liquid water?
Problem 56
Which of the following best describes a liquid: (a) The phase of matter in which particles are typically separated by the least distance (b) The phase of matter in which particles are in a fixed, rigid arrangement (c) The phase of matter in which particles completely fill the volume of their container (d) The phase of matter in which particles are in a loose, changeable arrangement but do not completely fill the volume of their container
Problem 57
At \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), fluorine, \(\mathrm{F}_{2}\), and chlorine, \(\mathrm{Cl}_{2}\), are gases but bromine, \(\mathrm{Br}_{2}\), is a liquid. What does this say about the intermolecular forces in bromine relative to those in fluorine and chlorine?
Problem 60

Problem 71
\(\mathrm{SiO}_{2}\), the main component of glass, is a solid at room temperature, and \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\) is a gas at room temperature. How do the structures of these compounds explain this fact?
Problem 72
Arrange these substances in order of increasing melting point: \(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{OH}, \mathrm{SiO}_{2}, \mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{6}, \mathrm{NaCl}\).
Problem 73
Ethylene glycol, \(\mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{OHCH}_{2} \mathrm{OH}\), and pentane, \(\mathrm{C}_{5} \mathrm{H}_{12}\), have approximately the same molar mass. Nevertheless, one of these compounds boils at \(198{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), and the other boils at \(36{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). Which compound boils at which temperature? Use an argument based on intermolecular forces to justify your choice.
Problem 74
Sketch the hydrogen bonds present in the liquid 1-propanol, \(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{OH}\).
