Description : Out of pentane, 2-methylbutane and 2,2-dimethylpropane which has the highest boiling point and why?
Last Answer : Ans. Pentane having a continuous chain of five carbon atoms has the highest boiling point (309.1K) whereas 2,2 - dimethylpropane boils at 282.5K. With increase in number ... and therefore weak intermolecular forces between spherical molecules, which are overcome at relatively lower temperatures
