Question

I have completed this question, but I would like someone to check over my work. I believe I have incorrectly shown some of the intermolecular forces. Below are the directions and my answer. Please check over each part.

Question: The rectangle on the left side is a TLC plate with SiO_2. The eluent used was 5% MeOH in CH₂Cl₂. The molecules spotted on the plate were: 1-cyclohexylethan-1-one, aniline, and (E)-1,2-diphenyethane.

a) draw one (1) molecule of each analyte in the correct relative position on the plate

b) draw two (2) of each solvent molecule type interacting with either the plate or the analytes

c) for all molecules, clearly show the relevant intermolecular forces that explain the TLC results

Answer:

CI Cl dipole-dipole 0 Cl 0 HO bonding : very polar molecule hydrogen b onds to plate
