not contain any double bonds nor does it have any dipole moments. Thus with a lower molecular weight and little to no intermolecular forces will boil at a lower temperature than Toluene. Toluene processes double bonds that result in a dipole moment at the methyl group increasing intermolecular forces and thus required more kinetic energy, heat, to boil. The polarity generated by the benzene ring is also an important concept in the separation during gas chromatography. Finally, Toluene has a…
