Part II
Search for additional thermodynamic data by searching by chemical name at this website and checking the “Phase change” box
http://webbook.nist.gov/chemistry/name-ser.html
These molecules were chosen for the following criteria
Similar number of heavy atoms (non-hydrogen atoms)
Relatively low molecular flexibility
Discuss what intermolecular forces are expected differ between each pair of molecules that you are comparing.
How do your calculations compare to the energy ranges listed in this table?
Approximate energies of intermolecular forces
