Dear Sirs :
  Do you have a guess or explanation for the fact that the paraffins
pack with their skeletons almost parallel?
 Further, what is a simple explanation for the fact that even n
paraffins have higher MP's than the next odd n-ones?
I'll be grateful for your response and references related to
my query. Thanks...................................Shridhar Gadre
