chemical properties.
14 of 36
down series, trend in...
physical properties
15 of 36
longer the chain...
higher the boiling point.
16 of 36
aldehydes and Ketones are.........isomers
functional group
17 of 36
why does boiling point increase?
non polar so only VdW forces. as molecules get bigger, VdW increases so boiling point increases.
