Propanoic acid has a boiling point of 141 °c, propanamide has a boiling point of 213 °c, and propanal has a boiling point of 48 °c. rationalize the differences in boiling point between these three compounds.

Explanation:

As in , the hydrogen atoms which are present are positive in nature. Due to this they are able to form hydrogen bonds with the neighboring oxygen atom.

Hence, these bonds are so strong that high heat needs to given to break them.

Hence, it will also require high heat to break the bond due to which there will be increase in boiling point.

As a result, less energy will be needed to break the bonds in propanal. Hence, it has very low boiling point.

indium, and thallium have three electrons i think

the population of unionid mussels in the hudson river decreased after zebra mussels were introduced. zebra mussels, a nonnative species, competed with the unionid mussels for food. the zebra mussels were able to outcompete the unionid mussels, allowing the zebra mussel population to increase dramatically over six years. the unionid mussel population decreased due to a lack of food.

hope this :
