Question
**Exercise: Ordering Compounds by Melting Point**

In this exercise, you are tasked with ordering the compounds made of the following molecules by increasing melting point. For each molecule, select the appropriate position in the melting point order from the dropdown menu.

### Molecules:

1. **First Molecule**
   - Structure: Contains a hydroxyl group (HO) followed by a carbonyl group (C=O) and a long hydrocarbon chain with a double bond near the middle.

2. **Second Molecule**
   - Structure: Contains a hydroxyl group (HO) followed by a carbonyl group (C=O), a long saturated hydrocarbon chain represented by (CH₂)₁₄, ending with CH₃.

3. **Third Molecule**
   - Structure: Contains a hydroxyl group (HO) followed by a carbonyl group (C=O) and a long hydrocarbon chain with a double bond towards the middle.

4. **Fourth Molecule**
   - Structure: Contains a hydroxyl group (HO) followed by a carbonyl group (C=O) and a fully saturated long hydrocarbon chain.

### Instructions:

- Use the dropdown menu next to each molecule to choose the correct order based on melting point.
- Consider factors such as chain saturation and length when determining the melting point.
- When ready, click the "Check" button to verify your answers.

**Buttons:**
- **Explanation:** Provides additional information about why the correct order is as it is.
- **Check:** Validates your selected order.

This exercise helps reinforce understanding of molecular structure and how it influences physical properties like melting point.
