Abstract

A molecule escaping from a liquid is not closely analogous to “a satellite breaking free from the earth’s gravitational field” with the requirement of “a minimum escape velocity”, such that the required kinetic energy is proportional to the mass of the satellite at that escape velocity.

  A semi-quantitative model has been developed to estimate the relative effects of dispersion, dipole–dipole interactions, and H-bonding on the normal boiling points (Tb) for a subset of simple organic systems. The model is based upon a statistical analysis ...
