- Does not depend much on atmospheric pressure
- Decreases with impurities (Melting Point Depression, Colligative
Properties, Eutectic Point, Heat Capacity, Sand or Salt on the Road, Water
Purification, Zone Refinement, Confirmation of Unknown Identities)
Antifreeze,
Ice
Cream
- Increases with size and weight
- Increases with more polar covalent bonds including hydrogen bonding
- Decreases with branching
- Increases with better crystal packing
-
Even versus odd normal alkanes
- London dispersion forces, van der Waals forces (Cis and Trans on
Triglycerides)
- Increases with higher rotational symmetry
