Read on your own (sections 2.1 – 2.8): basic structure, nomenclature of alkanes, cycloalkanes, alkyl halides, ethers, alcohols, amines. Boiling point: how strong are the forces holding molecules together? Alkanes: only VDW. size matters! Larger alkane, stronger VDW.

Boiling point: how strong are the forces holding molecules together? Alkanes: only VDW
VDW only VDW plus dipole-dipole
strongest: H-bonding bp = 100
melting point: same concept as bp, but less regular shape more important: packing!
What about: sol in NaHCO3(aq)?
A: eclipsed B, F: gauche D: staggered
envelope conformation: increases ring strain, but reduces amount of eclipsed hydrogens
