Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the types of intermolecular forces

Intermolecular forces include:

  • Dispersion forces (London forces): Present in all molecules due to temporary dipoles.
  • Dipole-dipole interactions: Present in polar molecules due to permanent dipoles.
  • Hydrogen bonding: A special type of dipole-dipole interaction, present when hydrogen is bonded to highly electronegative atoms like nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine.
Step 2: Analyze each compound

  1. Hydrogen sulfide (H\(_2\)S):

    • Dispersion forces: Yes, present in all molecules.
    • Dipole-dipole interactions: Yes, H\(_2\)S is a polar molecule.
    • Hydrogen bonding: No, sulfur is not electronegative enough to form hydrogen bonds.

  2. Ammonia (NH\(_3\)):

    • Dispersion forces: Yes, present in all molecules.
    • Dipole-dipole interactions: Yes, NH\(_3\) is a polar molecule.
    • Hydrogen bonding: Yes, hydrogen is bonded to nitrogen, which is highly electronegative.

  3. Carbon monoxide (CO):

    • Dispersion forces: Yes, present in all molecules.
    • Dipole-dipole interactions: Yes, CO is a polar molecule.
    • Hydrogen bonding: No, there is no hydrogen atom bonded to an electronegative atom.

  4. Silicon tetrafluoride (SiF\(_4\)):

    • Dispersion forces: Yes, present in all molecules.
    • Dipole-dipole interactions: No, SiF\(_4\) is a nonpolar molecule.
    • Hydrogen bonding: No, there is no hydrogen atom.

Final Answer

\[ \begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|} \hline \text{compound} & \text{dispersion} & \text{dipole} & \text{hydrogen-bonding} \\ \hline \text{hydrogen sulfide} & \text{Yes} & \text{Yes} & \text{No} \\ \hline \text{ammonia} & \text{Yes} & \text{Yes} & \text{Yes} \\ \hline \text{carbon monoxide} & \text{Yes} & \text{Yes} & \text{No} \\ \hline \text{silicon tetrafluoride} & \text{Yes} & \text{No} & \text{No} \\ \hline \end{array} \]

John says the relationship between segment BC and segment B'C' is that they are parallel. Adam says the line segments fall on the same line. Who is correct and why? John because the line segment does not pass through the center of dilation and therefore its image is parallel to the pre-image. Adam because the line segment does pass through the center of dilation and therefore its image falls on the same line as the pre-image. John because the line segment does pass through the center of dilation and therefore its image is parallel to the pre-image.
