Answer:
A straight chain alkane will have a boiling point higher than a branched chain alkane because of the greater surface area in contact with other molecules. Branching makes molecules more compact thus reduces the surface area. ... That's why the boiling point of neo-pentane is 282.5K while that of n-pentane is 309K
