Water and the ammonium ion have the same tetrahedral electronic geometry and molecular mass, 18 g/mol. use intermolecular forces and physical properties to explain why water has a higher boiling point than the ammonium ion.

The properties which compounds exhibit depending on the type of inter molecular forces that is holding their molecules together. Although water and ammonium ion have the same molecular size and the same electronic geometry, their other physical and chemical properties are different because of the differences in the inter molecular forces that hold their molecules together. Hydrogen bonding exist in the water molecules while dipole dipole force exist in the ammonium ion molecules. The boiling point of water is higher than that of ammonium ion because an higher amount of heat energy is required to break the strong hydrogen bonds which holds the molecules of the water together.

Answer:

a. energy is absorbed in the reaction.

explanation:

if in a given reaction the energy of products is greater than the energy of reactants it means that reaction is endothermic and during the reaction, the energy is absorbed by reactants. in an endothermic reaction, the products have more stored chemical energy than the reactants. and in this reaction the reactants are more stable than products before the compounds with less energy are always more stable.
