Answer:

Paraffin > Heptadecane > Hexane > 2,2-dimethylbutane > Propane

Explanation:

It must first be establish that all the molecules listed in the question are alkanes. For alkanes, the intermolecular forces between the molecules of alkanes increases with increasing molecular weight. This is as a result of increase in the surface area of the molecule. Increase in surface area implies a greater degree of dispersion forces.

This is the reason why high boiling points are observed for high molecular weight alkanes.

when wax is heated, it turns into a liquid. how are the wax molecules affected by this change of state?
Vladimir [108]
Wax molecules have most of their weak van der waals interactions and other hydrophobic interactions decrease and thus most of them are broken between these lipid substances, allowing for the increased molecular movement of these substances. As there are fewer interactions between similar compounds.
