The LARGER compounds within CRUDE OIL are more... VISCOUS (they are MORE gloopy) DIFFICULT to Ignite (they are LESS flammable) DIFFICULT to boil (they have HIGHER boiling points) [ALL of these]

Question

The LARGER compounds within CRUDE OIL are more... VISCOUS (they are MORE gloopy) DIFFICULT to Ignite (they are LESS flammable) DIFFICULT to boil (they have HIGHER boiling points) [ALL of these]

Answer 1

[ALL of these]

Answer 2

## Step 1:Larger compounds in crude oil have higher molecular weights. This increases intermolecular forces such as Van der Waals forces, making them more viscous.## Step 2:Higher molecular weight compounds are more difficult to ignite because they have stronger intermolecular forces, requiring more energy to break these bonds and start combustion.## Step 3:Larger compounds have higher boiling points due to stronger intermolecular forces. More energy is needed to convert these compounds from liquid to gas.## Step 4:Since all the statements about larger compounds being more viscous, difficult to ignite, and difficult to boil are correct, the best answer is "ALL of these".#
