Highest boiling points
Posted: Sun Oct 17, 2021 8:07 am
Boiling point and melting point:
The minor difference between the electronegativities of hydrogen and carbon means that the bond between both of them is only weakly polar. If two alkanes having the same molecular weights are there then the highly branched one will have the lower boiling point. The melting point of aliphatic hydrocarbons increases with size but in a less regular manner.
Using above information, arrange the following compounds in ascending order of their boiling points:
1) Petroleum
2) Ponasterone A
3) Ecdysone
