Concept Introduction:
Boiling point is measure of intermolecular forces. It also depends on dipole moment and masses of molecules. Smaller molecules have high thermal motion and therefore these have lower boiling points and vice-versa. So boiling point is directly related to masses of molecules. Molecule with large surface area has high tendency to interact with other molecules. Since boiling point depends on strength of intermolecular forces, it has high boiling point.
