Conformer structure via 3Dmol.js

Physical properties []
Molecular mass	140.09 g/mol ^[1]
Density	1.1 at 68 °F (EPA, 1998) - Denser than water; will sink g/cm³ ^[1]
Appearance	Liquid ^[1]
Odor	Almost odorless in pure state ^[1]
Taste	Tasteless in its pure form ^[1]
Melting point	-71 °F (EPA, 1998) ^[1]
Boiling point	297 ° ^[1]
Decomposition	Decomposes thermally to form a variety of phosphorus containing products as well as propylene. The rate of decomposition increases with increase in temperature, and in the presence of acids. At the boiling point of GB, under atmospheric conditions, decomposition is fairly rapid. ^[1]
Solubility	Miscible with water /1X10+6 mg/L at 25 °C / ^[1]
Predicted LogP	0.8 ^[1]
