Question

multiple choice 2 points a branched alkane has ____ boiling point relative to the isomeric linear alkane. there are ____ london force interactions in the branched alkane. a higher; stronger the same; similar a lower; stronger a lower; weaker a higher; weaker previous next

Explanation:

Branched alkanes have less surface - area contact compared to linear alkanes. London forces are proportional to the surface - area contact. Weaker London forces lead to a lower boiling point.

Answer:

D. a lower; weaker
