Rank the boiling points of the following molecules. Explain your ranking ( 1 = highest bp; 3 = lowest bp ).

For each pair of compounds, predict which compound has the higher boiling point. Check [TABLE 6-2] to see if your prediction was right; then explain why that compound has the higher boiling point.

a. isopropyl bromide and n-butyl bromide

For each pair of compounds, predict which one has the higher molecular dipole moment, and explain your reasoning.

c. cis-2,3-dibromobut-2-ene or trans-2,3-dibromobut-2-ene

d. cis-1,2-dichlorocyclobutane or trans-1,3-dichlorocyclobutane

For each pair of compounds, predict the one with a higher boiling point. Which compounds have zero dipole moments?

b. cis- or trans-2,3-dichlorobut-2-ene

For each pair of compounds, predict the one with a higher boiling point. Which compounds have zero dipole moments?

c. cyclohexene or 1,2-dichlorocyclohexene

a. Which compound would you expect to have a greater dipole moment, methyl acetate or butanone?

b. Which would you expect to have a higher boiling point?
