Question

Homologous series The alkanes are a homologous series of compounds containing only carbon and hydrogen that have the general formula CnH2n+2. Members of this series include butane (C4H10), 3,3-dimethylpentane (C7H16), hexane (C6H14), and heptane (C7H16). Part A The boiling points for a set of compounds in a homologous series can be qualitatively predicted using intermolecular force strengths. Using their condensed structural formulas, rank the homologous series for a set of alkanes by their boiling point.
