Out of the three isomeric nitrophenois, only the o-isomer is steam volatile and its boiling point and solubility are lower than those of the other isomers. Explain.

Why are the boiling points of ethers lower than those of isomeric alcohols ?

Boiling points of ketones are higher than those of the isomeric aldehydes. Assign reason.

p-Dichlorobenzene has higher m.p. and solubility than those of -and m-isomers. Discuss.

Why are boiling points of ethrs lower than those of alcohols of comparable molecular masses ?

Alcohols and ethers are isomeric with each other . But, the boiling point of ethers is always lower than that of alcohols, due to the following reason :

You are given two compound First, you name both of them the same yet, are they really same structure, or they some how different ?Carefully inspection should convince you that they are indeed different. Now, how their physical and chemical properties differ? Generally (i) cis-isomer has more diplomoment than trans-isomer (ii) cis-is less stable than trans (iii) boiling points of cis isomers are than those of trans isomers (remember boiling points are directly related to polarity which is determined by dipolemoment) chemical reactivities of cis and trans also differ from each other. Which of the following statements best explain(s) the relationship between two isomer of CH_(3)-CH=CH -CH_(3) ?
