|
If the distilled fraction molecules are small, what does that mean?
|
If the molecules are small, the fraction will have a low boiling point, it would be very volatile, it will flow easily and it ignites easily.
|
|
|
If the distilled fraction molecules are large, what does that mean?
|
If the molecules are large, the fraction will have a high boiling point, it would not be very volatile, it will not flow easily and it would not ignite easily.
