Acronym for organic functional groups boiling points (1 Viewer)

[jossasmith05]

Hi guys. I made an acronym to memorise the boiling points of functional groups in descending order order.

I might (Amide) get in the car (Carboxylic acid) and have a drink (Alcohol) and grab the keys (Keytone). To avoid arrest I will hide (Aldehyde) in a mine (Amine) and stare (ester), because its either (ether) death or the cane (Alkane).

Also note that Boiling points for alkyne, alkene and alkane is dependant on how many hydrogens, so in descending boiling point order its alkane, alkene, alkyne

Hope this helps

Fair enough
Might be useful to also associate some of the dimer formations etc that are made with that

do you have one for solubility too, this is actually helpful

just use nagsag, lms, castrobear

In my opinion it’s easier/better to just learn why things have higher boiling points rather than just rote learning, cool way to memorise it though!
