Three key properties of hydrocarbons
Three key properties of hydrocarbons
Boiling point, viscosity, flammability
Definition of boiling point
Definition of boiling point
Temp when substance changes from liquid to gas
Boiling points of long-chain hydrocarbons
Boiling points of long-chain hydrocarbons
Higher boiling points
Boiling points of short-chain hydrocarbons
Boiling points of short-chain hydrocarbons
Lower boiling points
Boiling point of ethane ()
Boiling point of ethane ()
Boiling point of heptane ()
Boiling point of heptane ()
Definition of viscosity
Definition of viscosity
Liquid's resistance to flow or thickness
Viscosity of larger hydrocarbons
Viscosity of larger hydrocarbons
Higher viscosity - thicker and flow less easily
Definition of flammability
Definition of flammability
How easily a hydrocarbon can combust
Flammability of smaller hydrocarbons
Flammability of smaller hydrocarbons
More flammable
Flammability of larger hydrocarbons
Flammability of larger hydrocarbons
Less flammable
