Properties of Molecules: Boiling Points & Melting Points


Intermolecular Forces
Naming molecules with functional groups:
alkyl halides, alcohols, thiols, ethers, sulfides
General Trends
Heavier alkanes have higher melting & boiling points
• Table 2.1 on Page 71 (7th ed, pg 47 6th ed) shows melting and boiling
points for C1-C12, C20
• Generally speaking, see 20-30 °C increase in BP per carbon atom

Alkanes with 4 or fewer C atoms are gases at room temp.


• Most common alkanes are liquid at room temperature (C5-C17)

Melting points:
• “Stair-step” between even and odd # of C atoms
• Branched alkanes have lower MP than unbranched
Intermolecular Forces: Dispersion
van der Waals interactions
Polarizability Effects:

Dipole-Dipole
Dispersion & Dipole Considerations

Alcohols & Thiols
Ethers & Sulfides
Solutions: Solutes & Solvents

Soluble Immiscible
Insoluble (one homogeneous phase)
(the case w/ 2 liquids
appearing as 2 phases)
Intermolecular interactions of dissolution:
All of the A-A solute intermolecular interactions are replaced
with S-A interactions in the solution.
Entropic contribution to dissolution:
If the system has gone from a less probable state to a more
probable state, the entropy has increased (spontaneous).
Hydrocarbons in water
Less favorable entropy of dissolution because water
molecules experience increased order.
Water solubility for organic solvents

Is the molecule a hydrogen bond donor or acceptor?

How much of the hydrocarbon chain is present?


Solvent Miscibility Table
Dipole-induced dipoles: miscibility
Pentane & Dichloromethane are miscible:
Solvation of ionic compounds in water
Cation-Binding Molecules
Cryptands & Crown Ethers
Applications: Transport across cell membranes
Hydrophobic & Hydrophilic phospholipids:
spontaneous formation of a bilayer
