<span>The relationship between the number of carbon atoms and boiling point is inversely proportional. In the alkane series of hydrocarbons, as the number of carbon atoms decreases, the normal boiling point of the compounds decreases. The reason behind this is that longer chains of molecules require more energy to separate the bonds while shorter chains or molecules with lower number of carbon atoms require less energy to break away from each other. Thus, low carbon molecules have lower boiling point.</span>
Answer :
The basic rules for naming of hydrocarbons are :
First select the longest possible carbon chain.
The longest possible carbon chain should include the carbons of double or triple bonds.
The naming of alkane is done by adding the suffix -ane, alkene by adding the suffix -ene, alkyne by adding the suffix -yne.
The numbering is done in such a way that first carbon of double or triple bond gets the lowest number.
The carbon atoms of the double or triple bond get the preference over the other substituents present in the parent chain.
If two or more similar alkyl groups are present in a compound, the prefixes di-, tri-, tetra- and so on are used to specify the number of times of the alkyl groups in the chain.
Answer:
Every atom has no overall charge (neutral). This is because they contain equal numbers of positive protons and negative electrons. These opposite charges cancel each other out making the atom neutral.
