Please mark me brainliest and follow me

Although the chemical formula of pentane and two methyl butane are the same, (C₅H₁₂), there is a methyl chain in the first compound,

No. of chains present in a compound is inversely proportional to boiling point of the compound

since pentane is a linear compound without any chains, it will have more boiling point that 2 methyl butane
