Explanation:
In general , the B. pt of hydrocarbons is direcly proportional to
1. no. of carbons
2.surface area of the molecule (branching
decreases the surface area)
since neopentane has more branching , the B.pt of neopentane is lesser than n-pentane
Symmetrical molecule has more melting point.
so the melting point of neopentane is greater than n-pentane.
