Trioxane:
C3H6O3
Also has the name, 1,3,5-Trioxane
All about Trioxane:
Trioxane is a colorless, crystalline, toxic solid with a chloroform odor and highly flammable. However, the flame is basically invisible. It is stable under ordinary conditions but over time slowly grows into a formaldehyde. A formaldehyde is a colorless gas, with a strong odor. It can be considered a weakly bound and can be used as a disinfectant, and as solid fuel. Toxic formaldehyde gas could be made if trioxane decomposes. Trioxane is a pair of isomeric organic compounds. The molecule is held together because of the Carbon connecting all the atoms to one molecule.
Polar or Non polar?
Trioxane is a polar molecule. The molecule is polar because the right side is more negative than the left side. The hydrogens are positively charged because they have no unshared electron pairs; unlike the right side. The oxygens have two unshared pairs which cause the molecule to be unbalanced and polar.
Important Information about Trioxane
- Melting point at 64 degrees C
- Boiling point is 114.5 degrees C
- Molar mass of 90.08 g/mol.
Trioxane can be combined with hexamine and compressed into solid bars to make hexamine fuel tablet. It can be used in the military and outdoors men as a cooking oil. It also is used by morticians as a restorative chemical that is used to repair cells to maintain the corpses look for the services.
Forces
- London Dispersion Forces- the force of attraction between all molecules, created by temporary dipoles, which are caused by the movement of electrons around two atoms.
- So, London dispersion forces have an effect on all molecules, no matter what the bond. There is a temporary dipole bond because the electrons are always shifting and changing positions. This type of bond is very weak and can be pulled apart easily.
- Dipole-Dipole- an electrostatic attraction caused by the positive end of one dipole being attracted to the negative end of another dipole.
- Dipole dipole related to trioxane because that molecule is polar. The uneven distribution of electrons cause there to be a negative end and a positive end which will attract the opposites of each other.
- Hydrogen Bonding-a special case of dipole-dipole attraction where a temporary covalent bond forms between the hydrogen molecule, and the O,N,F of an adjacent molecule.
- Hydrogen bonding occurs on the right side of the molecule. Oxygen is bonded to a hydrogen atom. This occurs in two places. They are attracted to each other, so they form a bond.
