  2. Length of Carbon Chains
25
Structure of Functional Group Molecules having a_____ functional group have a ______ ______ _______ than others with a non- polar functional group of similar molecular masses
Polar and Higher boiling points
26
Polar
Goes into different directions in their polarity
27
Non polar

28
Solubility depends on the ______ of organic molecules and the solvent.
Polarity
29
_______ compounds dissolve readily in non-polar or weakly polar solvents.
Non-polar or weakly polar
30

Highly polar
31
Solubility in Organic Molecules
Like dissolve like
32
Why does Hexane Dissolve Readily in Tetrachloromethane?
Intermolecular forces among hexane molecules and those among tetrachloromethane molecules
33
Why is Hexane Insoluble in Water?
Weak intermolecular force between hexane and water molecules
34

Hydrogen Bonds
35
Hydrogen bonds affect the physical properties of alcohols and amines with _______ _______ ______
low molecular masses
36
Why does Propan-1-ol have a Higher Boiling Point?
Because of its hydrogen bond
37
Formation of Hydrogen Bonds
* Also affect the solubility of a molecule * Molecules with ⎯OH groups are able to form hydrogen bonds with surrounding water molecules
38
Molecules with ________ __________ masses have higher melting point, boiling point and density.
Higher molecular
39

41
Straight-chain isomers have greater ______ _____in contact with each other
Surface Area
42
Greater attractive force among the molecules
Straight-Chain Isomers
43
melting point is higher compared to its straight-chain isomer
Molecules with branched chains
44
Branched-chain isomers are more ______
Spherical
45
Branched-chain isomers
➔ Packed more efficiently in solid state ➔ Extra energy is needed to break down the efficient packing
