Chapter 26, Problem 76IAE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Structural formula for all the isomers listed in table 26.3 should be sketched.

Concept introduction:

Intermolecular forces are present between the small molecules. Intermolecular forces are weaker than the covalent bonds.

Energy required for overcome intermolecular forces are not too large. Therefore, compact molecules have lower boiling points.
