[edit] 11.1 Homologous series
- A homologous series is a set of compounds with one repeating functional group
[edit] Physical Properties of Alkanes
- As chain length increases, so does boiling point, as an increased number of electrons causes stronger Van de Waal forces
- The increase in boiling temperature is rapid at first, but flattens off
And I was just wodnrenig about that too!
