Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structural formulas of all isomers of C3H8O are to be written. The isomer which is a gas at 25oC is to be identified and an explanation for its gaseous state is to be provided.

Concept Introduction:

Isomers are compounds with the same chemical formula but different connectivity of atoms or different orientations of atoms or groups.

Boiling point of a compound depends on the type and strength of intermolecular forces (IMFs) between its molecules. The stronger the IMFs, higher the boiling point.
