N-type.
Phosphorus is a group 5 element, so it adds extra electrons, which are negative charge carriers.
Answer
The four points that explain why ethanoic acid (P) melts at a much higher temperature than ethane (S) are:
- Ethanoic acid has hydrogen bonds (as well as London forces) between its molecules.
- Ethane has only London (dispersion) forces between its molecules.
- The hydrogen bonds in ethanoic acid are stronger than the London forces in ethane.
- More energy is needed to overcome the intermolecular forces in ethanoic acid than in ethane, so its melting point is higher.
