What are the intermolecular forces of hexane?
How does hexane compare to other hydrocarbons in terms of intermolecular forces?
Hexane has similar intermolecular forces to other straight-chained hydrocarbons of similar or larger sizes, such as heptane, octane, and nonane. However, branched-chain hydrocarbons have slightly stronger intermolecular forces due to their shape, which allows for greater surface area contact between molecules.
