ketones having higher boiling points compare to isomeric aldehydes due to high polarity of ketones.aldehydes less soluble.melting point functions you no please tell me.

As the number of carbons is increased, the number of electrons and protons also ... In general, chloroalkanes contain lower boiling points than alcohols. ... is higher than alkanes and roughly the same as both chloroalkanes and aldehydes.
