Explain why it is easier to predict the boiling point of heptene rather than its melting point

Chemistry

Answer:

Alkenes contains a carbon-carbon double bond. This carbon-carbon double bond changes the physicals properties of alkenes. At room temperatue, alkenes exist in all three phases, solid, liquids, and gases. Melting and boiling points of alkenes are similar to that of alkanes, however, isomers of cis alkenes have lower melting points than that of trans isomers. Alkenes display a weak dipole-dipole interactions due to the electron-attracting sp2carbon.

Alkenes are a family of hydrocarbons (compounds containing carbon and hydrogen only) containing a carbon-carbon double bond. The first two are:

ethene (  C2H4  )

propene ( C3H6 )

You can work out the formula of any of them using:  CnH2n . The list is limited to the first two, because after that there are isomers which affect the names.

It is easier to predict the boiling point of heptene rather than its melting point because of their geometrical isomerism.

<h3>What is melting point?</h3>

Melting point is that point at which any compound changes its state from solid to another state liquid, and at this point both the states are present in equilibrium.

It is easier to predict the boiling point of heptene as in this molecule constant number of double bond is present its not changing. But due to double bond heptance shows cis and trans isomer, and among them one isomer will be stable and another one is unstable.

That's why it is not easy to predict the melting point.

Hence, due to geometrical isomers it is not easy to predict melting point.

Answer:

ionization energy decreases from top to bottom in groups, and increases from left to right across a period. So technically, the noble games have the largest ionization energy.

What will happen to convection currents in the mantle if earths interior eventually cools down?
VLD [36.1K]
If the core were to cool completely, the planet would grow cold and dead. It also would get a little dark: Power utilities pull radiant heat from Earth's crust and use it to heat water, the steam from which powers turbines to create electricity.Cooling also could cost us the magnetic shield around the planet created by heat from the core. This shield protects Earth from cosmic radiation. The shield is created by a convection process caused by constantly moving iron. Like the planet itself, Earth's core is constantly spinning. Some scientists think it's moving even faster than the rest of the planet. The friction converts kinetic energy into electrical and magnetic energy that forms the field, which deflects harmful, charged particles emanating from the sun toward the north and south poles. Your welcome :)
