HW: 9.23 COF2 and BF3
Posted: Sun Jan 29, 2017 6:03 pm
COF2 will have a higher molar entropy than BF3.
They would both be trigonal planar molecules. The answer says that since O and F will disorder the COF2 by occupying the same location.
Is my understanding right that the molecule that has a distorted composition will have a higher entropy than the molecule that is non polar (undistorted)? Or is there any further explanation?
I would appreciate your reply.
