Interpretation: Compare the boiling points of
Concept Introduction: The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which the pressure of the surrounding air and the pressure of the liquid's vapor are equal.
Answer to Problem 17LC
Alkanes have a higher boiling point as compared to Alkenes.
Alkynes have a higher boiling point as compared to Alkanes.
Explanation of Solution
Given Information: Alkanes, Alkenes, and Alkynes have boiling points.
Alkanes have a greater number of electrons and a greater area over which the electrons are to be spread, this will increase the dispersion force and the boiling point as compared to Alkenes.
Alkynes have a higher boiling point as compared to Alkanes as the electric field of Alkynes gets easily distorted due to an increased number of weakly held
Alkanes have a higher boiling point as compared to Alkenes.
Alkynes have a higher boiling point as compared to Alkanes.
