Are the following true or false?
• Melting point of a Hydrocarbon reduces with increased molecular weight
• Boiling Point increases with an increase in molecular weight
• Density increases with increase in molecular weight
• Higher molecular weight hydrocarbons tend to stay in the gaseous state at room temperature and pressure.
• Hydrocarbons with branched chains have higher melting points than straight chain compounds with the same number of carbon atoms in the molecule
Two organic compounds have the following linear arrangement
C-C-C-OH and C-C-O-C
In the first compound the third Carbon Atom is linked to an Oxygen atom by a double bond whereas in the second compound the second Carbon atom is linked to an Oxygen atom by a double bond? Do these belong to the same Homologous series and what are the functional groups present in these compounds.
