Description : What effect does branching of an alkane chain has on its boiling point?

Last Answer : Ans. As branching increases, the surface area of the molecule decreases which results in a small area of contact. As a result, the Van der Waals force also decreases which can be overcome at ... lower temperature. Hence, the boiling point of an alkane chain decreases with an increase in branching.

Description : What effect does branching of an alkane chain has on its boiling point?

Last Answer : Ans. As the branching increases, the surface area of an alkane approaches that of a sphere. Since a sphere has minimum surface area, therefore, Vander Waal forces of attraction are minimum and hence the boiling point of the alkane decreases with branching.
