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.

ReplyDeleteOverall, the blog was very nicely done. However, you could have added a little bit more design to it. The first drawing of Trioxane was very clear and also accurate. It correctly showed the arrows, which signified lower electronegativity levels to higher electronegativity levels. The next section explained that Trioxane was a polar molecule, which is correct. It contained a detailed picture that showed why the molecule is unbalanced. Then, intermolecular forces are explained. It is accurate to say that all three forces would act if two of these molecules were placed next to each other. I liked that it was not just the definitions of each force, but also a detailed description of why each force of attraction would take place. Finally, there was the AD. I liked that the AD was not something that particularly applied to me, but did seem very realistic with telephone numbers and disclaimers. One last thing that I really found unique about the blog was all of the background information about Trioxane. It helped me to learn more about the molecule than just the simple facts.
