Chapter 9, Problem 9.44P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: An explanation for the observed trend in the melting points of given three isomeric alcohols is to be stated.

Concept introduction: The melting point of any compound is directly proportional to the surface area and symmetry of the molecule. This means an increase in surface area, or symmetry increases the melting point of a compound.
