INTRDOUCTION
The boiling point is defined as the temperature at which the pressure is exerted by the core of
surrounding that is based upon in form of liquid which is majorly equalled by the core pressure
that is exerted by the form of vapour which is associated with liquid. In this, the major of
compound have their own boiling and forces which may intermolecular and intramolecular
forces. Moreover, the intramolecular forces are referring a forces which have mediate interaction
between molecule which is properly include force of attraction or the course of repulsion which
act between the atom and other type of neighbouring particle. In this report, the major of
discussion is based on the compound with their boiling point and intramolecular forces. The
compound is from aldehyde and hydroxyl group.
MAIN BODY
The boiling point is the temperature at which the vapour of gas is generated by the phase
change from a liquid to a gas and is equivalent to 1 atmospheric pressure (Dearden 2003).
Boiling points depend on three essential factors, this includes the molecular weight, the shape of
the molecule and the intensity of the intermolecular forces present (Struyf 2017). Boiling point
property is affected by intermolecular forces (Dearden 2003). Intermolecular forces between
molecules in the liquid overcome by thermal energy. The type and strength of intermolecular
forces that are discovered in the molecular compound predetermine the boiling point (Burrows
2017).
The stronger the intermolecular forces, the lesser the vapour pressure of the compound
and the greater is the boiling point (Lewis 2015). The strength of the three intermolecular forces
from strongest to weakest are hydrogen bonding, dipole-dipole interaction, and dispersion
(Burrows 2017).
While comparing the boiling points of Hexanal and 1-hexanol, the theory of hydrogen
bonding has the strongest attraction (Struyf 2011). These forces have electrostatic attractions,
which develop unshielded hydrogen on the molecule, and a pair of electronegative atoms on an
adjacent molecule (Struyf 2011).
