Concept introduction:
Boiling points: The every chemical compounds is the particular temperature at which it’s liquid from becomes a gas or (vaporizes). For a compound to vaporize, the forces that hold the individual molecules close to each other in the liquid must be overcome.
The boiling point of each compound depends on the strength of the attractive forces between the individual molecules. If the molecules are held together by strong force then a great deal of energy will be need to pull the molecules away from each other and the compound will have a high boiling point.
On the other hand, if the molecules are held together by weak forces only a small of energy be need to pull the molecules away from each other and the compound will have a low boiling point.

- Classify the following lipid (choose all that apply). HO, O wax ester O cis alkene(s) O steroid fatty acid O omega-6 O saturated O monounsaturated O omega-3 O triglyceride O polyunsaturated O trans alkene(s) O Oarrow_forwardTrehalose, a disaccharide found in the blood of insects, has the following structure. What simple sugars would you obtain on hydrolysis of trehalose?arrow_forwardUnshared, or lone, electron pairs play an important role in determining the chemical and physical properties of organic compounds. Thus, it is important to know which atoms carry unshared pairs. Use the structural formulas below to determine the number of unshared pairs at each designated atom. Be sure your answers are consistent with the formal charges on the formulas. H₂C H₂ b Hc N CH2 The number of unshared pairs at atom a is The number of unshared pairs at atom b is The number of unshared pairs at atom c is The number of unshared pairs at atom a is 1 v The number of unshared pairs at atom b is Ov The number of unshared pairs at atom c is 1.arrow_forward
