QUESTION 33 2.5 points Save A Which of the following explain why vegetable oil has a greater viscosity than diethyl ether, CH3CH2OCH2CH3? Select all that apply! Oil molecules have long carbon chains that become entangled. The sum of the intermolecular forces present in oil are greater than the sum of the intermolecular forces present in diethyl ether. The strongest intermolecular forces present in oil is larger than the strongest intermolecular force present in diethyl ether. Diethyl either only has induced dipole-induced dipole attractions which are weaker intermolecular forces than for oil. Oil molecules have lots of hydrogen bonds holding them together.

Explanation / Answer

Sum of intermolecular forces present in oils is greater than sum of intermolecular forces of attraction present in ether.

Vegetable oils are polarised molecule contain polar fattyacid groups which increases attraction.
