Therefore, aldehydes/S have the lowest/lower boiling points /
least/lower energy needed to overcome/break intermolecular forces.

re-instate a new equilibrium by favouring the reaction that will cancel/oppose
the disturbance.
Wanneer die ewewig in 'n geslote sisteem versteur word, sal die sisteem 'n
nuwe ewewig instel deur die reaksie te bevoordeel wat die versteuring
kanselleer/teenwerk. (2)
