Organic Properties & Intermolecular Forces

What this note covers

1. Intermolecular forces: the engine room of every physical property
2. Boiling points within a homologous series: chain length and branching
3. Boiling points across families: the functional-group ladder
4. Solubility in water: the hydrophilic-hydrophobic tug-of-war
5. Viscosity and flashpoint: flow and fire safety
6. Fully worked example and the four-step answer scaffold
