Consider the three isomeric alkanes n-hexane, 2, 3-dimethylbutane, anu 2-llylp following correctly lists these compounds in order of increasing boiling point? Circle correct Answer.
A) 2, 3-dimethylbutane < 2-methylpentane < n-hexane
B) 2-methylpentane
C) 2-methylpentane < 2, 3-dimethylbutane < n-hexane
D) n-hexane<2-methylpentane <2, 3-dimethylbutane
E) n-hexane <2, 3-dimethylbutane<2-methylpentane
structures with less branching have high boiling point and low melting points this is because of freezing depression and boiling depression and stronger bonds.
