Interpretation:
The compound which have higher boiling point has to be identified from pentane and neopentane and the reason also has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Intermolecular forces in a molecule are the important factor which is responsible for the physical changes of the molecule.
The stronger the intermolecular forces, closer will be the molecules in contact and thus higher will be the boiling point and melting point of the substance.
Three types of intermolecular forces:
- London dispersion
- Dipole-dipole
- Hydrogen bonding
