Question 5

Which of the following best explains why the boiling point of alkanes increases with chain length?

Accepted Answer

Longer chains have greater surface area, leading to stronger London dispersion forces.

Question 6

What is the IUPAC name for the following compound: $$CH_3CH_2CH(CH_3$)CH_2CH_3$$?

Accepted Answer

3-Methylpentane

Question 7

Which of the following statements about cycloalkanes is correct?

Accepted Answer

Cycloalkanes with five or six members are more stable due to bond angles close to the tetrahedral angle.
