Why are highly branched alcohols solid?
Usually branching (or decrease in surface area) leads to increased volatility. But in case of alcohols, my book states that:
The higher alcohols (butanols to decanols) are somewhat viscous, and ...

Boiling points of HF, HCl, HI [closed]
I'm really confused over how to weigh the molecular mass with intermolecular forces such as hydrogen bonding in HF in terms of figuring out the melting points in relation to each other.
I know that ...
