2. which class of organic molecules had the larger retention times? why? (explain using intermolecular inter- actions)

Sagot :

The class of organic molecules had the larger retention times is the compounds which  have strong intermolecular interaction with high boiling points have longer retention time.

The organic molecules that have strong intermolecular interaction with the column coating will favor the stationary phase and they takes the longer time that means they will have longer retention time. the organic molecules that have weak intermolecular interaction with column coating spend little time. the retention time for the organic molecules are affected by then intermolecular interaction.

Thus, the more is the interaction between the analyte and the stationary phase the longer will be the retention time.
