hello dear
here's your answer
This is due to the weaker Van der Waals dispersion forces betweenbranched organic molecules compared to straight chain molecules. ... Weaker intermolecular forces means that less energy is required to separate the molecules of a compound from its liquid surface, thus lowering the boiling point.
