Naming Straight Chain Alkanes - tutorial video by Leah4sci

SOLVED: Branched alkanes have lower boiling points than corresponding straight chain alkanes because:Select one: a) Branched alkanes have weaker covalent bonds than straight chain alkanes.b) Branched alkanes have stronger covalent bonds than straight chain alkanes.c) Branched alkanes have smaller van der Waals forces than straight chain alkanes.d) Branched alkanes have larger van der Waals forces than straight chain alkanes.

SOLVED:Why do branched-chain alkanes have lower melting points than straight-chain alkanes of comparable molecular mass?
