Which of the following has highest boiling point and why?(L-II) (a) 2 methylpentane (b) 2,3 dimethyl butane (c) 2,2 dimythylbutane

Description : Which of the following has highest boiling point and why?(L-II) (a) 2 methylpentane (b) 2,3 dimethyl butane (c) 2,2 dimythylbutane

Last Answer : Ans. As the branching increases, surface area decreases. As a result, magnitude of Vander Waals forces of attraction decreases and hence the boiling point decreases.

Why do the C-C bonds rather than C-H bonds break during cracking of alkanes?

Description : Why do the C-C bonds rather than C-H bonds break during cracking of alkanes?

Last Answer : Ans. Since the bond dissociation energy of C-C bonds (348kj /mol) is lower than bond dissociation energy of C-H bonds (414kj/mol), therefore, during cracking of alkanes, C-C bonds break more early than C-H bonds.
