question: If Milo removes carbon atoms from his alkane while working in his science lab, what happens to the melting point of that alkane?
choices.text: increases decreases
choices.label: A B
para: Alkanes with more carbon atoms have higher boiling and melting points, so some of them are solids at room temperature.
