Answer to Question 1

Only (b) and (c). Fenchone will evaporate readily because it is spherically shaped. Pentacene
will evaporate becaue it is cylindricaly shaped. Hexadecane has a zig-zag shape and strong

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
