Question

Out of 2-methyl pentane and 2,3 dimethyl pentane, which has higher boiling point and why? (please give a bit detailed and clear answer)

Answer 1

Answer:

2,3 dimethyl have higher boiling point because branched chain have higher boiling point

Answer 2

Answer:

2-methyl pentane has high boiling point than 2,3-dimethyl pentane.

Explanation:

Reason:

Degree of branching increases the boiling point of the molecules decreases.

So, 2-methyl pentane has high boiling point than 2,3-dimethyl pentane.
