Chapter 2, Problem 2.67P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

It is to be explained that for small rings, there is a significant difference in boiling points of cyclic alkanes and cyclic ethers, but for large rings, the boiling points are nearly the same.

Concept introduction:

When compounds contain both polar and nonpolar groups, the strength of intermolecular attraction depends on the size of the nonpolar group. As the size of the nonpolar part increases, the contribution of induced dipole-induced dipole interactions toward the total strength becomes more significant than the contribution of the polar functional group.

What are the main reason(s) that the alkenes have lower boiling points than the alcohol? (Check all that apply) The alkenes are more symmetric than the alcohol. The alkenes have lower molecular masses O The alkenes are low in polarity and mainly experience London dispersion forces between them. The alcohol has a much higher molecular weight than the alkenes. The dominant intermolecular force in the alcohol are hydrogen bonds.
