Acetone [(CH3)2CO] is widely used as an industrial solvent. (a) Draw the Lewis structure for the acetone molecule and predict the geometry around each carbon atom. (b) Is the acetone molecule polar or nonpolar? (c) What kinds of intermolecular attractive forces exist between acetone molecules? (d) 1-Propanol (CH3CH2CH2OH) has a molecular weight that is very similar to that of acetone, yet acetone boils at 56.5 °C and 1-propanol boils at 97.2 °C. Explain the difference.
