Document Summary
Review: if you are looking for a h-bond acceptor, it doesn"t matter what it"s bonded to. You"re looking for an f, o, n: answer is c, what are the intermolecular forces, what are the molecular weight, the heavier something is, the higher the melting/boiling point, also, we gotta look at the intermolecular forces. Something that has h-bonding is harder to break apart, thus higher boiling and melting point. In this case, c has h-bonding plus greater molecular weight!! Methyl and primary alkyl substituents: reference for naming. Simple branched alkyl substituents: common but a little bit more complex groups. **key point is that you have to start. Starts (so from the red star in this case). *also, we gotta put this substituent name in brackets and we would order to substituents alphabetically ( e in this case). Practice: alkyl group: name it, notably, dimethyl vs. trimethylbutryl.
