surface area dependence on boiling point
« on: March 27, 2004, 04:09:59 AM »
Why does 2,2-dimethylpropane have a lower boiling point than 2,3-dimethylpropane? Does anyone know?

2,2- is more spherical and has lower surface area than 2,3-

Most Common Suggestions I Make on the Forums.
1. Start by writing a balanced chemical equation.
2. Don't confuse thermodynamic stability with chemical reactivity.
3. Forum Supports LaTex
