draw two lewis structures for a compound with the formula c2h6o and compare the boiling points of the two molecules

See explanation and images attached

Explanation:

There are two compounds that could have molecular formula of C2H6O, they are ethanol and methoxy methane (trivial name: methyl ether).  The structures of the two compounds are shown in the image attached as obtained from quora.

The boiling point of methoxymethane is -24.8°C  while that of ethanol is about 78.5°C. The reason for the high boiling point of ethanol is the presence of intermolecular hydrogen bonding leading to a stronger intermolecular interaction compared to methoxymethane molecules held together only by very weak dispersion forces.

b is the correct

most historians agree that gabriel mouton, the vicar of st. paul’s church in lyons, france, is the “founding father” of the metric system. he proposed a decimal system of measurement in 1670. mouton based it on the length of one minute of arc of a great circle of the earth (now called a nautical mile, 1852 meters). he also proposed the swing-length of a pendulum with a frequency of one beat per second as the unit of length (about 25 cm). a pendulum beating with this length would have been fairly easy to produce, thus facilitating the widespread distribution of uniform standards. over the years, his work was revised, improved, and extended by a number of french scientists.

the political sponsor of weights and measures reform in the french revolutionary national assembly was the bishop of autun, better known as talleyrand. under his auspices, the french academy appointed several committees to carry out the work of developing a usable system of weights and measures for france. one of the committees recommended a decimalized measurement system based upon a length equal to one ten-millionth of the length of a quadrant of the earth’s meridian (i.e., one ten-millionth of the distance between the equator and the north pole).
