Scientists at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory have discovered a new melt curve of hydrogen, resulting in the possible existence of a novel superfluid - a brand new state of matter.

Both ethanol and ether have the same molecular mass, however, their melting points and boiling points are different due to the ethanol containing hydrogen bonding.

Compared with alkanes, alcohols have significantly higher boiling points. The hydroxyl groups in alcohol molecules are responsible for hydrogen bonding between the alcohol molecules. As greater ...

Andrew Bond proposes 1 that to explain the high melting points of polyhedral alkanes compared with linear or cyclic alkanes of the same size, besides the intermolecular interaction energies 2, the ...
