Question

☺ Heya ☺

Please answer this question:-

Q. Hydrocarbon X and Y have melting point - 190°C or -90°C respectively. Which one of these has minimum carbon in the molecule and why?​

Answer 1

$\boxed{\boxed{\textbf{\underline{Answer}}}}$

The compound with the minimum melting points will have the least carbon atoms in the molecules .

Hence the answer is X since X has a melting point of - 190°C

$\textbf{X has the minimum melting point .}$

$\boxed{\boxed{\boxed{\textsf{Explanation}}}}$

→ Carbon has a high melting point .

→ Hence the compound which has more carbon atoms will have the highest melting point .

→ The compound with the least carbon atoms will have the least melting point ,

→ This fact can be used to compare the number of molecules provided that the melting points are given .

Answer 2

Hey dear ‼️

compound with least atom molecules have minimum melting point ..

So X have minimum melting point....
