PRACTICE PROBLEM 2.2
The compounds in each part below have the same (or similar) molecular weights. Which
compound in cach part would you expect to have the higher boiling point? Explain your
answers.
(a)
OH or
(c)
OH or HO
(b) (CHN or
A factor (in addition to polarity and hydrogen bonding) that affects the melting point
of many organic compounds is the compactness and rigidity of their individual molecules.
• Molecules that are symmetrical generally have abnormally high melting points. sert-
Buryl alcohol, for example, has a much higher melting point than the other isomeric
alcohols shown here:
OH
