Chapter 10, Problem 112AE
Consider the following formulas for n-pentane and neopentane:
CH3—CH2—CH2—CH2—CH3
π-Pentane
Both compounds have the same overall formula (C5H12, molar mass = 72.15 g/mol), yet n-pentane boils at 36.2°C whereas neopentane boils at 9.5°C. Rationalize the differences in the boiling points between these two nonpolar compounds.
