Explain why n-pentane has higher boiling point than
neo-pentane.

Answers

Answered by bhoomika8690

Answer:

The n-pentane melts higher than isopentane because it can assume a rodlike shape in which adjacent molecules can pack closely together. ... The spherical neopentane molecules exert relatively little attraction on each other and so have a low boiling point.

Answered by varmanaveen50

Answer:

Explanation:

Neopentane, also called 2,2-dimethylpropane, is spherical-shaped. Pentane is rod-shaped and it does have stronger interactions and therefore a higher boiling point.
