Question

what is the effect does brqnching alkane chain has on it is boiling point ​

Answer 1

Answer:

With increase in the branching, the surface area of the molecule decreases and vander waals forces of attraction decreases which can be overcome at a relatively lower temperature. Hence, the boiling point of an alkane chain decreased with an increase in branching.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Vander Waals force of attraction is directly proportional to suface area. Surface area decreases with the increase in branching hence boiling point of an alkane decrease with increase in branching due to decrease in vander Waals force of attractions.
