Explanation:
The more the molecules can touch each other, the more London dispersion forces there are, and the higher the boiling point. For example, pentane has a boiling point of 36.1 C, while 2,2-dimethylpropane has a boiling point of 9.5 C. ... So, pentane (5 carbons) will have a higher boiling point than butane

● There is a mistake in the question given above but I can correct and provide answer for it. It is mentioned higher melting point in the question but the correct format is lower melting point.
● The force of attraction between atoms of 22 2 dimethylpropane is more weaker when compared to that of pentane show the melting point of 2 2 dimethylpropane is lower than that of pantene.
