There are 2 factors that affect this problem.
(1) The hydrogen bonding ability of H₂O which increases the boiling point.The partial charges, induced by the higher electronegativity of oxyg...

Molecules of propanol have a hydrogen directly bonded to a NOF atom (oxygen in this case), which means that they can hydrogen bond with eachother. The oxygen in the other three molecules is only bonded to...

Nitrogen has atomic number 7; so, when neutral, it has 7 electrons . Those electrons are organized according to the Aufbau principle in an electronic configuration of 1s² 2s² 2p^...

Iodine atoms have more electrons surrounding them than chlorine molecules. This results in Iodine having much stronger inter-molecular forces than chlorine, which require more energy to break, resulting i...
