The boiling point of straight chain alkanes increases as the number of carbons increases. This is because: The larger the molecule, the greater the dipole moment Larger molecules usually can form hydrogen bonding better Larger molecules can pack tightly together Larger molecules have greater surface therefore stronger London Forces among them None of the above
