Students should:
$understand, in terms of intermolecular forces, physical properties shown by materials, including: i the trends in boiling temperatures of alkanes with increasing chain length ii the effect of branching in the carbon chain on the boiling temperatures of alkanes iii the relatively low volatility (higher boiling temperatures) of alcohols compared to alkanes with a similar number of electrons iv the trends in boiling temperatures of the hydrogen halides, HF to HI$
