Answer:

1) pentane is of higher Molecular mass than propane hence heavier member

2) due to intermolecular hydrogen bonding methanol is liquid having lower molecular weight

3) I) in methanol C = sp3

ii) in methanoic acid C= sp2

5)I) i) The two carbon-oxygen bonds in the methanoate anion, HCO2-, have the same length due to resonance stabilization of the C-O bond
