Question
Chapter 2, Problem 2.66P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
It is to be explained that
Concept introduction:
Compounds with strong intermolecular forces have higher boiling points. The branching reduces the surface area available for intermolecular interactions due to compact structure. And the isomer having an extended shape has a higher boiling point than the branched isomer due to a larger surface area available for intermolecular interactions.
