Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The smallest straight –chain alkane which is a liquid at room temperature has to be identified.
Concept introduction:
Boiling point of
Bond angle: The bond angle is the angle formed between three atoms at least two bonds.
Polarity: It is a well separation of electric charge leading to a molecule or chemical compounds having an electrical dipole moment. Generally the polar molecules must contain polar bonds due to a different in electronegative between the bonded atoms.
