MCQ
Which one of the following has the minimum boiling point
- A$1-$Butene
- B$1-$Butyne
- C$n-$Butane
- ✓Isobutane
✓
Answer
Correct option: D.
Isobutane
d
(d)Among the isomeric alkanes, the normal isomer has a higher boiling point than the branched chain isomer. The greater the branching of the chain, the lower is the boiling point. The $n-$alkane have larger surface area in comparison to branched chain isomer (as the shape approaches that of a sphere in the branched chain isomers). Thus, intermolecular forces are weaker in branched chain isomers, there fore they have lower point in comparision to straight chain isomers.
