are no free
moving ions

boiling point

15. Explain the effect of the increase in number of
carbon atoms in alkane molecules
Size of molecule increase
Melting point & boiling point increase
• The higher the number of carbon atoms, the
higher the melting & boiling point
16. • As the number of carbon atoms increases, the
molecule become bigger
• The force of attraction between the molecules
become stronger
• More heat energy is needed to overcome the
strong force of attraction between molecules
17. Why melting and boiling point propane is higher
than ethane?
• Propane have more number of carbon atoms per
molecule than ethane
• Size of propane is bigger than ethane
• The force of attraction between propane
molecule increase
• More heat energy is needed to overcome the
force of attraction between propane molecule
• So, melting and boiling point of propane is higher
than ethane
18. Chemical properties of alkanes

no free moving
ions

boiling point
23. Explain the effect of the increase in number of
carbon atoms in alkene molecules
Size of molecule increase
Melting point & boiling point increase
• The higher the number of carbon atoms, the
higher the melting & boiling point
24. Why melting and boiling point butene is higher
than ethene?
• Butene have more number of carbon atoms per
molecule than ethene
• Size of butene is bigger than ethene
• The force of attraction between butene molecule
increase
• More heat energy is needed to overcome the
force of attraction between butene molecule
• So, melting and boiling point of butene is higher
than ethene

38. Determine which one is more soot between
hexane and hexene when burn in oxygen. Give
your reason.
39. Hexane, C6H14
= 6(12) x 100
[6(12)+14(1)]
= 83.72%
Hexene, C6H12
= 6(12) x 100
[6(12)+12(1)]
= 85.71%
Hexene has high percentage of carbon by mass than
hexane.
So, hexene burn with more sooty flame
