Rank the following compounds in acending order of melting point (and explain your reasoning): CH3CH2CH2NH2, CH3CH2CH3, CH3CH2CH2OH

CH₃CH₂CH₃ , CH₃CH₂CH₂NH₂ , CH₃CH₂CH₂OHThe only major intermolecular force that takes place in propane are the van deer waal forces made up by dipole to dipole interactions. The other two compounds have van der waal forces, but on top of that they engage in hydrgen bonding (thanks to the hydroxy and amine groups). This additional force strenghtens the intermolecular forces and thus increases the melting point of the compound.Propanol has a higher mp than proplamine as oxygen has two lone pairs of electrons, where as nitrogen has only one. This means that oxygen can form two hydrogen bonds where as nitrogen can only form one. Propanol therefore has more hydrogen bonds and therefore has stronger intermolecular forces.
