Why branched chain isomers have lower boiling point than straight chain isomers?

This is due to the fact that branching of the chain makes the molecule more compact and thereby decreases the surface area.Consequently, the boiling points of the branched chain alkanes are less than the straight chain isomers.

- Boiling point depends on surface area.
- Greater the surface greater will be the Boiling point.
